Black excellence in business ain’t new. 💡 Our ancestors were building wealth, creating jobs, and thriving in business long before AI, social media, and six-figure side hustles. One of the most powerful examples? Black Wall Street.
Tulsa’s Greenwood District, known as Black Wall Street, was a hub of Black wealth, innovation, and self-sufficiency in the early 1900s. It was proof that when we build together, we thrive together. And while it was tragically destroyed in the 1921 Tulsa Massacre, the principles that made Black Wall Street successful still apply today.
In fact, with AI and technology at our fingertips, we have even more opportunities to rebuild and create lasting wealth. So let’s talk about how we can take those same wealth-building strategies from Black Wall Street and apply them right now to grow our businesses, side hustles, and financial independence.
📌 Community Wealth Circulation – Black dollars stayed in the community, supporting Black-owned businesses.
📌 Business Ownership & Entrepreneurship – The district was full of Black-owned grocery stores, banks, salons, law firms, and more.
📌 Financial Education & Smart Investing – Residents understood the power of ownership, real estate, and group economics.
📌 Collaboration Over Competition – Businesses worked together, not against each other, to grow.
💡 Now, imagine what we could do if we applied these principles today—BUT with the power of AI to help us scale.
On Black Wall Street, real estate ownership was key to building generational wealth. Today, we can own digital assets just as powerfully.
✅ Instead of renting your income from a 9-5, build a business.
✅ Instead of just consuming content, create content that pays you.
✅ Instead of making social media companies rich, use AI to create your OWN platforms.
🔥 Use AI to help:
Example: A Black entrepreneur can use AI to create and sell ebooks, courses, or planners instead of relying solely on a paycheck.
Black Wall Street was powerful because money stayed in the community. 💰 AI can help us find, support, and uplift Black-owned businesses faster than ever.
🔥 Use AI to help:
Example: A group of Black entrepreneurs can use AI-powered marketing tools to promote each other’s businesses and grow together.
Black Wall Street was big on wealth-building. Today, AI makes investing and financial planning easier than ever.
🔥 Use AI to help:

Black Wall Street thrived because it adapted to challenges. AI is today’s game-changer—it’s time to learn it and use it.
🔥 Use AI to help:
Example: A Black entrepreneur can use AI-powered tools to learn how to start a business with zero experience.
