MISSION OF ILLINOIS BLACK BUSINESS JOURNAL
The Illinois Black Business Journal’s mission is to advocate for and advance the development and growth of African-American-owned businesses in the state of Illinois. The economic empowerment of African-American-owned businesses contributes to and takes part in the self-determination, economic growth, and prosperity of African-American communities, thereby creating a strong economic base that nurtures, empowers, and supports the ongoing success of these communities and our society at large. Increasing the number of successful African-American-owned businesses and helping them gain access to procurement opportunities and capital is an ongoing process and the primary goal of the IBBJ.
