Being a Black entrepreneur is far from easy. If you are a Black business owner who is struggling, know that there are so many Black entrepreneurs who are exhausted from running a business with little to no assistance. And in 2021, Black and African-American owned businesses only accounted for about 3% of businesses in the United States.

It’s important to note that there are over 33 million small business owners in The United States alone. More than 80% of small businesses operate without any staff. But despite the odds, many Black men are overcoming adversity and thriving in entrepreneurship.
