How
can we support you, if we don't know you exist?

Greetings!
Shani Shania & Associates has established "Our Businesses, Our Community", with one objective in mind; increasing the visibility of small African-American owned businesses operating within our community. We are of the belief that our small businesses fail primarily due to a lack of support from consumers . As our slogan says, "How can we support you, if we don't know you exist?"
To address this issue, we have embarked on a mission to identify quality African-American owned businesses that provide excellent customer service and have set an internal benchmark for sucess, longevity and accountability to the consumer & the community. Our Businesses, Our Community provides entrepreneurs with an avenue to advertise their business both locally and nationally.
We have added a section to the publication called Rising Stars, which will spotlight the efforts, activities & achievements of one business owner per month. Businesses become Rising Stars based on maintaining a positive reputation within the community, while providing a product or service that is beneficial to the community. If you or someone you know owns a business that meets the Rising Stars criteria, please contact us to discuss the business and our publication rates.
Finally, we have also included a section to highlight events that you will find interesting.
Best regards,
Shani S. Blevins, Founder
