Whether it’s through purchasing their products or services, or sharing their content, your agency can help to elevate these businesses and the important role they play in our communities.
- Educate your team and clients: Use this month as an opportunity to educate your team and clients about the history and culture of African Americans. Encourage everyone to learn about the lives and contributions of notable Black figures, as well as the ongoing challenges that Black communities face today.
