BLACK PERSPECTIVES: My Black Year — Maggie AndersonWhat happens when you make a commitment to support Black-owned businesses for an entire year?
Maggie Anderson and her family decided to find out. In her powerful TEDxGrandRapids talk, “My Black Year,” Anderson shares the story of her family’s year-long experiment to spend their money primarily with Black-owned businesses—and what the experience taught them about economic power, community wealth and the importance of where we choose to spend our dollars.
More than a decade later, her message still hits home: our money doesn't just get spent—it moves.
Watch Maggie Anderson’s “My Black Year” and rethink the power of your next dollar.
