EBS Universal

In August, we talked about the power of Black-led businesses and nonprofits. And with it being Black History Month, there is no better time than now to bring that message back with fresh energy. Representation matters. When Black entrepreneurs and nonprofit leaders thrive, they do more than build businesses and organizations; they shift mindsets, inspire others, and pave the way. Seeing someone who looks like you in spaces of influence makes success feel attainable, which is why supporting Black-owned businesses and Black-led nonprofits isn’t just about economics; it’s about empowerment and legacy. So, this month and every other one, we want to challenge you to support your local Black businesses and nonprofits and help them continue to break barriers, create opportunities, and uplift our communities. Happy Black History Month! #BlackHistoryMonth #EBSUniversal #BlackLed #BlackOwned #BHM2025 #ShopBlack #Community

They are truly changing lives in Charlotte, and it was a pleasure to have the opportunity to contribute to their mission.
