Elevating, Empowering, and Promoting Black-Owned Businesses
Leading the Lowcountry
in the pursuit of equity and the mobilization of
black-owned businesses.
After launching in 2020, BlacQuity has worked with over 30 black entrepreneurs through our core program, Black Equity University: a 12-week business course that equips our entrepreneurs with essential business knowledge, skills, connections in the community and resources in order to run or launch a successful business.
