During the early 1900's in thriving Black communities, like Black Wall Street, the dollar circulated within the Black community for almost a year. Now, the dollar leaves the Black community within a matter of hours. Black Americans face systemic barriers to wealth building due to discrimination, poverty, the loss of solidarity, and a shortage of social connections (including role models and mentors in their communities). These factors have helped maintain a persistent - and widening - wealth gap.

The mission of Black Connect is to elevate existing Black-owned businesses and to encourage millennials and successive generations to pursue entrepreneurship.The network fills the void left by other social media platforms by connecting business owners, entrepreneurs, and consumers in a holistic way.
