The MoBB

The Map of Black Businesses (MoBB) is a tool to practice group economics. The application allows for consumers to immediately identify black owned businesses (BoBs) in their vicinity (or search another area on the map); with the goal of growing The Community's economy.

Assumption: If we drive more customers to BoBs, they in turn will bank with Black Banks, who will reinvest in small BoBs and projects which benefit The Community.
