Our Impact
Every metric below represents a real person, a real family, a real dream made possible. This is what economic justice looks like in action.
By The Numbers
We track what matters: dollars recirculated, businesses launched, jobs created, and communities strengthened. Here is the full picture of where we stand and where we are going.
Success Stories

Aisha Brown's fashion brand went viral after being featured on BBM's homepage, generating 50,000 site visits in 48 hours.
Economic Multiplier
When you spend $1 at a Black-owned business, it doesn't disappear. Research shows it recirculates within the community up to 3x before leaving — creating a multiplier effect that builds lasting wealth infrastructure.
Here is how spending through BBM flows back into Black communities nationwide.
