Message FROM
THE EDITOR
Along with allowing our readers to make
direct contact with business owners to
generate business or even collabora-
tions with other entrepreneurs.
I
thank every single supporter who has
joined us in our 1st-year journey. This
1st year has been a journey of unity,
growth, and evolution. From our
launch party bringing together hundreds
of
African-American
entrepreneurs
and supporters to dozens of business
collaborations and the introduction of
our Young, Gifted & Black Creative’s
Brunch, along with so much more.
Our mission moving forward is to con-
tinuously share the triumphant stories
of African American entrepreneurs and
how they learned to push forward in
business & interpersonal growth. We
have listened to our readers and the
needs of entrepreneurs. We heard the
call to assist with the disruption of so-
ciology. To give upcoming generations
visuals of all they can be. Startups the
resources they need. Current entrepre-
neurs the support they seek.
We are so very proud of all the
entrepreneurs who have been apart of
this mission. Especially to see the growth
and collaborations under the umbrella
of our publication.
Moving forward you will see great changes
with Urban Freedom Magazine starting
with our digital publication becoming
interactive. Our goal is to push the
boundaries of community connection.
Readers can now make purchases from
Black Owned Businesses right from our
pages. Purchase event tickets, provide
feedback and even the introduction of
our “Freedom Art Gallery”.
Watch video feeds from entrepreneurs,
artists, events, listen to new music and
the list continues.
WELCOME TO THE 1- YEAR
ANNIVERSARY EDITION
“BACK 2 BUSINESS”
Sincere love, peace & prosperity
