Black owned businesses are few and far in between. The majority of physical businesses you can find here at restaurants, but what I find hard is that for my everyday necessities like groceries, toiletries, and gas… I still have to patronize others. I feel that my black business support is relegated to just restaurants.
I want to be a part of the change, but living in a predominately White/Hispanic area hurts my efforts. Driving in to LA is too much a financial burden on me at this time. I am reaching out for help. If you are boycotting in the San Fernando Valley, how are you keeping all of your black dollars in black businesses when our business ownership here is not diverse?
I feel like a failure or not fully committed because the bulk of my dollars are still going to other people because of geographical and racial barriers. The socio-economic landscape of the valley is definitely up for discussion.
Thanks to a Facebook post I started compiling a list of black businesses that I can patronize. Feedback welcomed.
