Testimonial

“Since becoming a member of the African American Chamber of Commerce they’ve supported me and helped me out with my endeavors 100%. They’ve also given me leads and connected me to business leaders that fit my mission and vision of my companies. AACC was also a sponsor for our Black Panther movie event and helped with promoting it and getting it out to their members and network. I have nothing but a ton of good things to say about AACC and I’m glad to be a member.”
