All Things Black and Beautiful (ATBB) was founded in Dallas, Texas, in 2022, by Tolu Akindunni when she saw the increasing disparity between the rate of growth of Black-owned businesses and the lack of access to resources to propel them forward.
Why Black-owned Businesses?
Many ventures in the black and African communities are operated as ‘side hustles’ or micro-businesses. They have limited visibility, access to funding and networks that will propel them towards a more sustainable future.
Our Aim is to Turn This Around
By surfacing key topics, we can unearth the issues that are native to black and African-owned businesses, generating insights that will drive action. Through collaboration, we are building an ecosystem of thriving, buoyant enterprises that create generational wealth and economic impact.
