about
BetterUConnect
At BetterUConnect, our mission is deeply rooted in addressing the longstanding disparities and challenges faced by disadvantaged communities, particularly the African American community. Despite centuries of resilience and determination, the African American community continues to grapple with systemic barriers that hinder economic advancement and social progress. From enduring disproportionately low levels of wealth and income to facing disproportionate rates of incarceration, the struggles persist.
​
Yet, amidst these challenges, there is an abundance of untapped potential and resources within the community. The rise of entrepreneurship and the creation of businesses by Black individuals present a wealth of opportunities to uplift and empower the community. However, there exists a disconnect between these resources and the individuals who need them most.
​
At BetterUConnect, we are committed to bridging this gap and fostering connections between those who have resources and those who need them. By providing a platform for collaboration, support, and empowerment, we aim to catalyze positive change and drive collective progress within the African American community and beyond. Together, we can build a brighter future where every individual has the opportunity to thrive and succeed.
