Hard times are here if we don't unite our dollars! We are the change that we have been looking for...

The current economic climate in America dictates that Black folks must connect, work together, and look to each other for the improvement of our own financial condition. We must stop sitting by idly, complaining about how bad things are while enormous wealth is being siphoned right of our hands into the hands of others.Did you know that collectively Black Americans are a very wealth group with nearly $1 trillion in annual buying power? That is more than many sovereign nations including West Germany that produces the Mercedes Benz among other thing. However, “individually" we are poor, compromising, and in constant “struggle” mode – disconnected from one another looking outside ourselves for answers when all the while the solutions to our most perplexing problem of money lies within us.The question then becomes how do we connect and work together to “harness” the wealth of our communities that on average only circulates in the Black community one time before it goes out to enrich others? Well, like Barak Obama said, “we are the change we have been waiting for”!
