August is Black Business Month

by

Celebrate August as Black Business Month! Throughout the month, #EPBlackBusinessNetwork will shine a spotlight on Black Entrepreneurs on the Border, featured in the #ElPasoBlackBusinessDirectory. Founded by Historian John William Templeton and engineer Frederick E. Jordan Sr in 2004, National Black Business Month aims to impact policies affecting 2.6 million Black businesses.

Despite facing historical challenges like systemic racism, redlining, and violence, Black businesses have shown incredible resilience and success. Let’s honor those who paved the way for today’s entrepreneurs in El Paso County with Black El Paso Voice.

El Paso can make a positive impact by supporting initiatives like elpasoblackpages.com, a free platform for Black business owners, and the El Paso Black Business Network.  Embracing business diversity and celebrating milestones, successes, and progress in the Black business community is vital for our city’s continued success.

Black entrepreneurs bring unique perspectives, talents, and innovation that enrich the fabric of our city. It’s essential to provide them with the necessary resources, opportunities, and recognition.  Let’s also remember, as business owners, to prioritize delivering a pleasant customer experience. #BlackBusinessMonth #SupportBlackBusinesses #ElPasoEntrepreneurs #BusinessDiversity #InnovationMatters

Black Business Feature | The Face Architect | blackelpasovoice.com

Our El Paso Black Pages featured #blackownedbusinessontheborder is the eminent The Face Architect, – Salathia M. Graham Tankuh. Salathia is a local #makeupartist originally from Georgia.
She is a #USArmyVeteran #Mentor #Coach #NetworkingPhenom. We could tell you more, but we invite you to listen for yourself.
 

EPBBN co-founder, Monica Tucker, spoke with #TheFaceArchitect and truly believes Salathia is a catalyst in the field of beauty here in El Paso and beyond.

 
“She is essential to the actualization of building a positive Black presence in the business world on the border. Her very aura translates into Necessary. She wants to see other women, other Black people, and other business owners succeed in life. It is rare to find someone who understands that in a saturated market, you still have a place. Sleep on her if you want to! I’m going to glean from her. She is more than a makeup artist, she is truly a walking epitome of what an entrepreneurial maven is. Salathia believes that those seeking to succeed must remain in a state of learning and growing from others.”
