DATES TO CELEBRATE
Black Business Month, also known as African American Small Business Month, is celebrated every year in August. It gives the country an opportunity to recognize the importance of black-owned businesses with special events and support.
August 9th was National Women's Day. To all the exceptional women in our lives, we thank you for being you...every woman is a hero!
August 10th was National Psychiatric Technician Appreciation Day! To the psychiatric professionals who work hard behind the scenes, we thank you.

Do you know of a Black Owned business that you would refer?
