Our Mission

The Black Business Matters Initiative is a movement rooted in deep legacy of entrepreneurship that acknowledges the ingenuity, creativity, persistence, and contributions of black business locally, nationally, and globally. The initiative promotes sustainable and generational economic empowerment that strengthens and expands equity ownership in the black community. Rocky Mount Renaissance serves as architect and engineer behind the Black Business Matters Initiative, which is centered in Rocky Mount, North Carolina yet extends influence into affinity communities impacted by the Transatlantic Slave Trade and its residual repercussions. It is a group of seasoned entrepreneurs dedicated to a thriving, revitalized Rocky Mount and particularly for black peoples descending from formerly enslaved African Peoples of the Transatlantic Slave Trade.

how you can help

The Black Business Matters Initiative is a 501(c)3, community-based organization established to provide working capital for: 


  • Businesses seeking to scale their operations, support workforce development and job training initiatives. 


  • Property acquisition for commercial tenants and/or renovations for existing owners, that contribute to real estate development efforts. 


  • The initiative further promotes sustainable and generational economic empowerment to expand equity ownership in the black community of Rocky Mount, North Carolina. 


 Our strategy addresses the racial wealth gap, and establishes the framework for increased incomes, building short and long term savings, entrepreneurship and employment equity.


To activate the mission, we are seeking $1,000,000.00 in funding support; with all proceeds managed and deployed through our Black Business Matters Initiative Trust. Our goal is to make socially responsible investments through flexible financial products over the next two (2) years. 


The success of this initiative is dependent on like-minded people, institutions and corporations that will intentionally invest monetary and technical support to achieve restorative economics. Please consider partnering with us.
