Choose Black-Owned Month
Our partners inspire us!
Each year, we gather partners nationwide to celebrate Black-owned businesses and diversity in our communities. These partners inspire us and strengthen our movement.
Here is just one example of how our partners inspire us!
We are proud to announce that Rubber Rose Books & Print is an official partner with AMIBA for the 2025 Choose Black-Owned Campaign!
We also became a monthly supporter of the Fifteen Percent Pledge which encourages businesses to dedicate 15% of their shelf space to Black-owned brands, since Black individuals make up 15% of the US population. We always make it a priority to highlight and uplift Black voices in literature and will continue to do so!
We hope to inspire the members of our community to support Black-owned businesses and celebrate diversity year round.
Why Celebrate? Close the Wealth Gap
Black families’ median net worth was $44,900 compared to $285,000 for white families in 2022. According to the Federal Reserve, Black families have the lowest median worth of all races, as identified in their latest report, Changes in U.S. Family Finances from 2019 to 2022. When we drive more support for Black-owned businesses, we help families build generational wealth.
We want to learn how your community celebrates Choose Black-Owned Month. Please share your inspiration!
