In the United States, African-Americans are more likely to live in poverty than any other ethnic group. But despite the country’s institutional racism, a Black elite has found success, thanks to a combination of entrepreneurial thinking and intensive networking within the Black community. America is home to the biggest group of wealthy, highly successful Black people in the world. One in 50 African-American families are millionaires. Property developer Don Peebles is one of the richest and most powerful businessmen in America.

Nicknamed the "Black Trump”, he comes from a working-class background. His estimated net worth is 700 million dollars. In Atlanta Georgia, the famous and successful real estate agent Tahlia Diaz Brown invites other successful Black businesspeople to a huge party at the city’s most fashionable club. It’s an opportunity for ambitious entrepreneurs to network, strike deals and celebrate their success. In Texas, Psyche Terry and her husband have created a cosmetics empire. They’re invited to every charity event in Dallas. The Buy Black Movement fosters community business and even has its own Black Amazon.

| Maryland Business News Baltimore is the top city in the U.S. for businesswomen, according to a new report by ShareFile, a cloud-based file sharing and collaboration service.

The index ranks cities based on the following factors:

Buying power of women, which is based on the cost of living and the average wages earned by women (Baltimore: 123.4, 1st overall)
% of women-owned businesses (Baltimore: 23.3%, 10th overall)
% of women business executives (Baltimore: 31.3%, 10th overall)
Wage gap between women and men (Baltimore: 18.2%, 26th overall)

Heather Garner, owner of Garnering Change Psychotherapy, told ShareFile some reasons why Baltimore is a great city in which to work, referencing its size, location, and supportive business community.

"With a smallerpopulation than cities close by, and so many unique communities and groups here in Baltimore, networking is super easy, and word-of-mouth referrals are often the bread and butter of small businesses," Garner said. "We don't call it 'Smalltimore'for nothing! The business communities here in Baltimore are very active and are often willing to help out newcomers."
