The Black Tie Network ties together efforts of businesses and community groups who have a vested interest in the success of the black business community. The Black Tie Network will provide and promote upscale business networking forums designed to promote unity in the community. We hope by increasing commerce and trade within our own business community; to reverse the trend of gentrification and induce the spirit of self love and pride that once dominated earlier renaissance periods. The union of all resources will increase the efforts of smaller networks by creating a powerful Mega-Network.
