About Breaking Through the Black Ceiling.
“Buying Black” has been a mantra in the Black community for years and suggests that African Americans in particular should concentrate their trillion dollars in buying power into the businesses owned by other African Americans in their communities for the purpose of economic empowerment. This doesn’t occur in the Black community as often as desired, and there are many contributing factors. In Breaking Through the Black Ceiling, author and business owner Angela T. Jones provides insight on some of the common misconceptions and business practices that contribute to why more Black consumers spend their dollars with non Black owned businesses at a disproportionate rate. The book will be available in paperback and eBook formats.
