As a proud board member of the Virginia Black Chamber of Commerce (VABCC), I’m committed to advancing our mission of empowering Black-owned businesses across the Commonwealth. Today, I’m asking for your support as I fundraise to help strengthen and expand the vital work we do. VABCC serves as a hub for Black entrepreneurs—offering business development resources, training, networking, and access to capital. We also advocate for equitable policies that create a more inclusive economy. Our impact is real: we help startups get off the ground, small businesses scale, and legacy businesses stay competitive. Fundraising allows us to sustain and grow the programs that make this possible. Whether it’s mentoring first-time entrepreneurs, offering grants, or connecting business owners with procurement opportunities, your contribution directly fuels success. As a board member, I’ve seen firsthand how lives and communities are transformed when Black businesses thrive. Your support—whether financial or simply sharing this message—helps us keep that momentum going. Join me in investing in economic equity, innovation, and the future of Black entrepreneurship in Virginia. Thank you for standing with us!
