Interview with Nikki Clarke, National Business and Membership Manager, Canadian Black Chamber of Commerce via Zoom on November 13, 2024... Let’s explore how the Canadian Black Chamber of Commerce (CBCC) is empowering Black entrepreneurs across Canada and driving business growth as a catalyst for success. The Canadian Black Chamber of Commerce (CBCC), established in 2019, is a national voice for Black entrepreneurs, helping them scale their businesses and thrive. With around 4,000 members across all sectors and six strategic locations—Montreal, Ottawa, Halifax, Edmonton, Toronto, and Vancouver—the Chamber aims to reach 10,000 members in the coming years. CBCC focuses on advancing the Black Canadian community's economic health while contributing to Canada’s overall economy. It provides mentorship to address business challenges, personalized support for Black-owned businesses, and resources like financial literacy workshops and innovation hubs. The Chamber also hosts tradeshows, connecting entrepreneurs to local market opportunities. Support from partners like FedDev and major banks has been instrumental in driving their initiatives. She is inspired by the African proverb, “It takes a village to raise a child, and a community to raise a genius,” CBCC invites business owners to leverage its free resources and programs to build sustainable success. ______ Entrevue avec Nikki Clarke, Directrice nationale des affaires et des adhésions, Chambre de commerce noire du Canada.
