The Black Wall Street Community Development, a collaboration of The Juice 107.3 radio, The Sojourner\u2019s Truth newspaper, Pursuit magazine and KpK Unlimited, has over the past two and a half years, brought together small Black business owners for quarterly networking events in order to spread information about who is doing what in the entrepreneurial community and how we can collaborate to for everyone\u2019s advantage. Such an event was held on March 25 at the Entrepreneurs\u2019 Club.<\/p>\n

About three dozen business owners joined the gathering to share their information. Of particular interest was knowledge provided by Valerie Thompson, president of the Toledo American Advertising Federation and Calvin Brown, representing the Toledo African American Chamber of Commerce.<\/p>\n

If you are a business owner and you need a contractor, or insurance, or marketing advice, ,or legal advice, for example, and it makes sense to you to use other Black business owners and keep money in the Black community, then the Black Wall Street Community Development meetings are just what you need. Those were a few of the individuals present at the last meeting at the Entrepreneurs Club.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned and keep reading \u2013 the next gathering will be in June.<\/p>\n
