\nThe Black Success Center is the economic development hub for Utah'\;s Black Community. The Center hosts several educational programming to start and elevate small Black businesses and our Black business professionals.

Recent data shows vast disparities between Black and white communities in Utah. The Black population ranks the lowest in income\, homeownership\, and business ownership\, and the highest percentage in poverty. \;

\n \;\n\n

To add to these challenges\, Utah struggles to retain and grow diversity. The Black population has remained stagnant the last several years. Black professionals who migrate to Utah feel disconnected and struggle to find and feel a community for them. The heightened intensity in race conversations have illuminated a lack of awareness and education of systemic racism. \;

Since its inception in 2009\, the Utah Black Chamber has made significant strides for its community and continues to elevate its impact by curating a visible\, accessible\, and safe space for everyone. Our goal is to build an environment that welcomes all and builds a sense of trust and community while establishing a bridge to Utah&rsquo\;s non-Black population through partnership\, collaboration\, education\, and awareness. \;

\n \;\n\n

That&rsquo\;s why we created the Black Success Center. \;

The Black Success Center is poised to become the economic development hub for Utah&rsquo\;s Black community.
