About Us

At Arkansas Black Owned Business, we believe in the power of
community and the importance of economic empowerment. We are a
small business with a big vision—to promote and support Blackowned businesses across Arkansas by providing a central hub where customers can discover, connect, and shop locally.

Our mission is simple: circulate wealth within our community, amplify
Black entrepreneurship, and create opportunities for growth and
collaboration.

Why We started

We recognized the need for a space where Black-owned businesses
could shine without barriers. Too often, incredible businesses go
unnoticed due to lack of visibility, and we wanted to change that. By
bringing these businesses together in one directory, we are making it
easier for consumers to support and invest in Black excellence.

What We Offer

An easy-to-use directory to help customers find Black-owned
businesses across various industries.
A platform for connection—whether you’re a business owner
looking to collaborate or a customer wanting to support local Black
entrepreneurs.
A resource hub with tips, tools, and insights to help businesses
grow and thrive.

Our Vision

We see a future where Black businesses are thriving, wealth is
circulating within our community, and entrepreneurs have the
support they need to succeed. When we support each other, we all
win.
Join us in this movement—whether by listing your business, shopping
with Black-owned brands, or spreading the word. Together, we are
building a stronger, more self-sustaining community.
Welcome to Arkansas Black Owned Business—where Black
businesses are celebrated, supported, and strengthened.

Our Vision

As a Black software engineer, my mission is to use technology to empower,
connect, and uplift Black-owned businesses. I am committed to building
digital platforms that increase visibility, drive economic growth, and
create sustainable opportunities within our community.

Through innovation, accessibility, and collaboration, I aim to break down
barriers that have historically limited Black entrepreneurs. This is more
than just a directory—it’s a movement to circulate wealth, foster
connections, and ensure Black businesses thrive for generations to come
