To commemorate Black Business Month, Facebook is recognizing and celebrating the important contributions from Black-owned businesses throughout the month of August. Over the next four weeks, Facebook will highlight the stories of Black business owners through interviews and panel discussions on topics like access to capital, community, and the power of creativity.
Small businesses will also be able to learn from Facebook experts on how to use our tools and resources to engage with their target audience.
