Insecure About My Niche

Since I have started in my niche I have been unsure to how other's will receive it. Every time I create a post, I feel very insecure. My niche is to help promote Black businesses and Black people in general across the world.

I do not want people to perceive me as being racist. I am far from racist. I love people of all different color, shapes, and size. The bottom line is that I want to see people that look like me thrive.

I am tired of all the negative connotations that comes attached with Black people. Not just in America, but all over the world. I hate seeing my family and other people that look like me struggle their whole lives.

Most of my family live at or above the poverty line. I am from one of the poorest cites in the U.S. which is East Cleveland, Ohio. Yes some of us are doing well, but I want my whole community to do well. I want to create and promote a system where we are thriving. I want to break this welfare cycle or "curse" that we have been so dependent on.

I know there are many successful Black people and Black businesses. However, based on the statics here in America, a Black family would need about 228 years to build the wealth of a White family today.

So why not start now? Am I wrong for wanting to build my community? I promise being pro-Black does not mean I am anti-White. I just want people to understand this.
