Black-owned businesses have a long and proud tradition in Los Angeles with ongoing contributions from talented people and exciting companies. Throughout February, the Business Journal has shined a light on the ways these entrepreneurs enrich our city. Some of the names will be familiar, while others will bear watching in the years ahead.
As the Business Journal wraps up Black Entrepreneurs Month, we also look forward to our ongoing coverage of this vibrant sector of the local economy. Because following the talented people and exciting companies that comprise L.A.’s Black business world isn’t just a one-month opportunity.
The Business Journal remains committed to spotlighting and supporting the achievements of both established and up-and-coming Black businesses year-round.
We hope you’ll continue to find the Business Journal’s reporting on Black businesses both illuminating and inspiring.
