A COMMUNITY FOR US BY US!

Our Mission

Launched as The Louisville Black Business Network, we were created to address the disparity in the availability of tools, knowledge and strategic development required to progress black SME’s in Kentucky. We have expanded to meet the needs of all minority groups. We are committed to the growth and maintenance of our business community; providing resources and safe space events which allow professionals and entrepreneurs alike the opportunity to establish meaningful business connections.

A NEW APPROACH TO DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION!

Here at LBBN we are taking a new and more impactful approach to diversity and inclusion by targeting the specific needs of the community we know and love.

By addressing the individual gaps in knowledge we can tailor and detail our outputs to provide more effective solutions to minority business issues. Creating a real and progressive change that can collectively support our community!

Diversity and inclusion is a huuuugge topic of discussion and we all have so much to do, so we encourage those from every community to engage with us to close the inequality gaps across every field.

When discussing diversity and inclusion, ‘BAME’ or ‘BME’ is usually the focus; but it’s important to recognize that BAME is an umbrella term, used to reference an incredibly diverse group of people, each of whom have diverse issues to deal with.

The term BAME includes Asian Indian, Asian Chinese, White Polish and many other different ethnicity; but with such a wide range of people can one size really fit all?
