1. Sound Capital: Networking and Business Connections

Our Community

Due to Covid black businesses have declined but 40%. This has directly affected our community as a whole. We are in a dire situation and asking individuals and the business community to recognize this without taking action ourselves would be a lack luster approach to business and would undermine our ability to make things happen as we always have. This is the time for our community to network purposely, intentionally promote and provide the best service possible when given an opportunity. Going forward this should be our communities motto.
