The Black Business Catalyst Project
Celebrating Black History Month with Real Impact

The Black Business Catalyst Project is a limited web series focusing on the eCommerce journeys of four Black-owned businesses, to be shot and aired during Black History Month 2024.

This series transcends typical business growth programs by combining hands-on support with the power of digital storytelling. As we film the journeys of each participant, their stories and progress will be streamed across various web platforms.

This not only provides valuable exposure for the businesses, but also documents their transformative journeys. By capturing their experiences, challenges and triumphs on camera, we aim to inspire and educate a wider audience about the resilience and creativity in the Black business community.
