FOUNDER NICOLE MURPHY EMPOWERS BLACK-OWNED BUSINESSES TO HIRE THROUGH INNOVATIVE BARTERING PLATFORM

Nicole Murphy is creating a sustainable future for Black-owned businesses beyond financial constraints with Barter Black®. With over 3.12 million businesses owned by Black entrepreneurs making up a vibrant part of the economy, yet less than 5% reaching the status of employer firms compared to a little over 80% of white-owned businesses, the need for a shift from financial to human capital becomes clear.

This discrepancy highlights not just an economic divide but a pressing call for a community-centric approach to fostering sustainable growth in Black-owned businesses.

Barter Black® rises to this challenge, showcasing that the key to longevity for Black businesses lies not in monetary influxes but in a dedicated community's power to uplift one another. "Money alone won't secure our businesses' future," asserts Murphy. "It's about leveraging our collective human capital through a community committed to mutual growth. This is how we can truly start to rebuild Black Wall Street for the modern age, utilizing technology as our foundation."

50 Years of Hip-Hop Business: Reclaiming the Beat; The Journey from Exploitation to Empowerment

Recent Nielsen data has revealed a significant shift in the music landscape, with rap dethroning rock as the dominant music genre in the United States. Hip-hop’s ever-strengthening hold on mainstream culture and the economy is undeniable. 

Against this backdrop, distinguished hip-hop financial expert and author, Ash Cash, delves into the intricate business history of hip-hop in his new book, 50 Years of Hip-Hop Business: Reclaiming the Beat; The Journey from Exploitation to Empowerment, just in time for Black History Month.

In this meticulously researched retrospective, Ash Cash, a former banking executive and renowned author from New York City, sheds light on the multifaceted commercial trajectory of hip-hop, from its humble beginnings at Bronx house parties in 1973 to its current dominance on streaming charts. He chronicles how hip-hop’s visionaries kick-started a youth-driven musical revolution, bootstrapping billion-dollar industries through sheer talent and determination.

All of this was achieved despite the initial opacity and exploitation that hindered the creative independence and fair financial mobility of hip-hop pioneers.
