In today’s economy, ownership is power. For minority entrepreneurs, ownership isn’t just about making money — it’s about taking control of our narratives, our communities, and our futures. Every dollar we circulate, every product we sell, and every brand we build sends a message: we are more than consumers; we are creators.
For far too long, minorities have powered industries without owning a piece of them. We’ve built movements, shaped culture, and influenced trends, yet our names are too often left off the ownership paperwork. That’s why minority business ownership matters — because it’s how we rise above limitation and root ourselves in legacy.
When we own businesses, we don’t just create jobs — we create options. We hire people who look like us, speak like us, and share our vision for something better. We keep the profits in our communities and the opportunities in our neighborhoods. That’s what it means to Rise & Root — to grow together and support one another’s grind.
But here’s the truth: support has to be more than talk.
If you believe in Black and minority excellence, if you love to say “we need to support our own,” then prove it with your clicks, your dollars, and your shares.
As I like to say — “If they want to use me, all they have to do is use me.”
That means: buy from us, book us, tag us, and promote us. Every time you choose a minority-owned business over a big chain, you invest in real people — not just a brand.
I built Rise & Root to be that bridge — a place where culture and commerce grow side by side. It’s more than a platform; it’s a statement. It’s a reminder that ownership is our inheritance, and we don’t need permission to thrive.
So, if you want to see more diversity in business, start here. Support a vendor. Share a link. Tell a friend. Because when we rise together, the whole culture wins.
