                                                         " Buy Black Part II"




You may ask, while where are the African-American businesses? While it is true that there are not as many African-American Businesses as there should be. Also, you can also count out Gas and Food (two of the biggest and most used industries in the world) because their are few (if any) African-American Owned Gas Stations or Grocery Stores. However, the blessed part is you can find almost anything and everything else that is African-American owned. Here is a list of companies and places that you can find merchandise as well as goods that are sold by African-American Owned Companies.






1. BlackEtsy.com- If you know about Etsy (basically a version of Ebay; just it consists of Business that have their own rules and policies).






2. PurchaseBlack.com- I really love this company. They sell pictures, gift sets, Greek (Fraternity and Sorority Items), Hair Care Products, and much more. All of these are sold by African-Americans.





3. ujamaamarket.net- They sell a great and diverse number of items catered to African-Americans.






4. Ikire' Jones- This is a Brother I just found out about yesterday. If you don't fellow what everyone else does or don't like to look like every Joe. Check out this dude. High Equality Fashion.




5. Checkout Your Local Flea Market- Many of the vendors are African-American




6. There is also an APP that finds Black Owned Businesses. However, the reviews say that the APP is at times unreliable.


7. iamwelldressed.com- Well Dressed is an clothing line created by students of Color attending Syracuse University. On their website its says "What once began as an endeavor to dress business causal for personal gain, has transformed into a mission to empower students of color on campus."

Therefore, today we are going to talk about FASFA. First, you may ask, "What is FASFA." FASFA is federal aid or money for going to college. Although they said "federal aid", it is basically tax that is set aside for students who want to go to college, but need money to help pay for college. FASFA is available to students who have need and are looking to attend college (certificate program, associate degree, or 4 year degree). You need to fill out FASFA every year. FASFA should be filled out by any and every student. It is something that will without a doubt helpful in paying for school. A simple summary is basically this: (1) Wait until you or parents file Income Tax (2) Go to this website- https://fafsa.ed.gov/ (3) Create a account (4) Fill out all of the informat...

Personal Finance for Black Males

I don't follow Kanye West on any social media outlet. I don't listen to any of Kanye West music, and when he become "Kanye West Kardishian", I really stopped listening to him. However, every since he was approaching his album release, he has been tweeting like a mad man. He has been trending non-stop on Twitter, and a lot of his tweets have been outrageous. However, one caught my attention and the attention of countless others. He stated in one of his tweets that he is "53 Million Dollars" in personal debt. Now, I think that Kanye is either a good actor or mentally insane. But, either way, if he owes 53 million dollars to anybody then this is beyond shameful. I heard that Kanye is begging Facebook's owner (Mark Zuckerberg) for money and is asking for people to pray for him. Now, I have zero sympathy for Kanye West. But, I do feel that he is not the same Kanye West that everyone respected. He is not the same Jesus Walks, Kanye. But, anyway this mad...
