Hi, I’m Ishmael Hall.
I am the founder of the Black Business Alliance. This is your one stop shop to everything black business. From launching a business, buying property, looking for a project manager, content creation, networking or just to learn more, The BBA has something for you.
The Black Business Alliance was formed to lead, educate, and advocate for the advancement of the black community in the following ways; support black owned businesses both small and large, restore and repair the harm done to the black communities, provide resources for individuals seeking ownership, create opportunities to build networks within the black community, and provide workshops and learning opportunities for the community.
My why
Hundreds of years of slavery, Jim Crow, oppression, discrimination, racism, and centuries of local and federal policies that systematically orchestrated the impoverishment of blacks was the sole foundation for the wealth gap that exists between blacks and whites. This exploitation has left Black Americans much poorer than white Americans. This continues today with institutionalized racism that exists in education, our jobs, housing, the health care system, political office & policies, and the criminal justice system. This continues to limit access to wealth for Blacks.
In order to turn the tides of wealth, we need to work against the obstacles that exist as barriers to wealth building. Our goal is to help navigate those obstacles to build a better tomorrow for our generations to come.
