Keeping Black Wealth in the Black Community
The goal of 1 Trill Project (1TP) is to make it easy and enticing for Black customers and allies to sample, learn about, and purchase Black Owned Products.
1TP wants shopping Black to become reflexive for our customers, interrupt their normal shopping patterns and keep Black dollars circulating in the Black Community.
A FAMU study shows that the Black Community spends almost 1 Trillion Dollars every year. But a new Black dollar only stays circulating in our community for 6 hours on average before it leaves.
If the 1 Trill Project can help keep just 1% of Black Wealth stay in the Black Community longer, we’ll have kept 10 Billion Dollars circulating amongst Black Businesses and Black Communities!
“Keep it Trill; by keeping Black Wealth in the Black Community!!”
This is about our Future!!
I firmly believe that it takes only 1 generation to see substantial change in society whether it be for better or for worse.
Before I started Blac Funds Matter and now the 1 Trill Project, I always noticed that I would normally be the ONLY black male in management. I noticed how co-workers would doubt my decisions, but quickly accept what others had to say. I noticed how I was always the first to be let go when lay-off's came around.
The goal of 1 Trill Project is to expand on the work my parents did, and what their parents did. I don't care about my son growing up in a world that has no racists, I want him growing up in a world where we can bankrupt racists. I want us to control our money, so we don't have to ask, and march in the streets.
God has blessed me with an opportunity to Bless our people, my Family, and Myself. And with your help & support I'll do amazing things with it!!
