How it all Started
For weeks, the world cried out and erupted in protests over the senseless killings of unarmed Black men and women in North America. This isn’t to say that Black people haven’t been fighting to be seen as equal for decades, however, it seemed like for the first time we weren’t fighting alone, and that our allies were as loud as we were.
As a Black man, I wanted to do something. I needed to do something. My challenge was I didn’t know where to start. Which organizations, non-profits, and Black-owned businesses I should support to get help to the people who needed it the most.
After weeks of scouring the internet seeking a platform that would provide me with some type of direction on where to start, I realized that there wasn’t one. Black excellence needed to be exemplified on a global scale. A platform needed to be created that provided us with access to each other—no matter where we are in the world.
The Global Black Alliance (GBA) is a culture connected. Our culture.
Black Culture. Join us as we build a platform that immediately
connects us to our global community and true allies through
Entrepreneurship, Commerce, Social Justice, Humanitarianism,
and all things in between.
