Meet Our Founder

 

Hi, I’m Monique T. Marshall the Founder of Black To Business.

 

Now let’s get a little personal…

 

Growing up in the small southern town of Ocilla, GA, an area plagued by the Jim Crow South remnants, outside of the local hair stylist and barbershop owner, I had no representation of a Black entrepreneur.

 

It wasn’t until I decided to attend Howard University, a renowned Historically Black institution for college, that I knew entrepreneurship was an option. While there, I witnessed the power of collaboration. Many of my peers aspired to start businesses, but often found themselves stalled, not because of a lack of dreams, but due to uncertainty about the steps beyond their ideas.

 

My college experience and upbringing ignited my passion for using my business degree, a Bachelor’s in Supply Chain Management, to assist in the economic advancement of the Black community through business creation.

 

So I started Black To Business, where our mission has been to support first-time Black entrepreneurs by helping them navigate the world of business.

 

I know firsthand what it’s like to have a dream business idea but being unsure of how to get it started the right way.

 

That’s why my mission with Black To Business is to help you do business the right way and get there faster than I did!
