August is Black Owned Business Month and Amazon is Providing Resources!
August is National Black Owned Business Month, which Amazon is using to shine the spotlight on resources available to Black-owned businesses as it relates to selling on Amazon. From the AboutAmazon.com article:
"National Black Owned Business Month is a time to recognize, celebrate, and support Black-owned businesses and entrepreneurs across the U.S. More than 60% of sales in Amazon’s store come from independent sellers—most of which are small and medium-sized businesses—and we aim to enable opportunities for Black-owned businesses, so they too can launch and build thriving businesses in our store and beyond.
In 2021, as part of our continued commitment to the success of Black-owned businesses, Amazon launched the Black Business Accelerator (BBA) to empower sustainable entrepreneurship for Black-owned businesses in our store. The increased diversity of products these Black-owned businesses provide in our store empowers customers to shop according to their values, while also enjoying a wide selection that reflects their unique preferences."
