The racial wealth gap remains one of the most persistent barriers to equality in America. While the median wealth of Black families continues to lag behind that of white families, organizations like Black Pages International are actively working to close this gap—one business at a time.

Understanding the Gap

The racial wealth gap is the result of centuries of systemic exclusion from economic opportunities. Today, Black entrepreneurs still face challenges accessing capital, resources, and networks. This gap isn’t just about income; it’s about ownership, investment, and the ability to build generational wealth.

How Black Pages International Makes a Difference

Black Pages International empowers Black entrepreneurs by providing visibility and access to new customers. Our directory connects consumers who want to support Black-owned businesses with the companies that need their patronage most. Every transaction is a step toward closing the wealth gap.

But we go further. Through educational resources, workshops, and community events, Black Pages International helps businesses grow, scale, and thrive. We advocate for equitable access to capital and promote financial literacy, ensuring that Black business owners have the tools to build lasting wealth.

Building a Stronger Community

When you support Black-owned businesses through Black Pages International, you’re not just making a purchase—you’re investing in a more equitable future. The dollars you spend help create jobs, fund scholarships, and support community initiatives.

A Call to Action

Closing the racial wealth gap requires collective action. Black Pages International invites you to join our mission: list your business, shop Black, and share our directory with your network. Together, we can create a future where economic opportunity is truly equal.
