Internet business is booming and serious money is being made in the process. Here at BlackWebSuccess, I want to show that black entrepreneurs are also doing big things and finding huge success with online business. Their achievements should be celebrated and duplicated by us. Sadly, many black people don’t believe that success is attainable until we see others making it, so we hope that these people can motivate you to know that if they can do it so can you.
Here is a list of some of those black entrepreneurs, so enjoy and by all means, please check out their websites and support them.

As a way to help black women fight obesity, this holistic health coach created the social networking site BlackWomenLosingWeight.com so that black women could join together and educate and support each other about living healthy lifestyles. This greatly needed concept was so well received that Ebony spun it into another site called BlackWeightLossSuccess.com where black women from all over the world share their weight loss journeys with before and after pictures to inspire others to be healthier.

WHO: Chris De La Rosa
WEBSITE: CarribeanPot.com
NICHE: Caribbean cooking and recipes
This native of Trinidad and Tobago stumbled upon this niche out of both frustration of not seeing the foods he was raised on being documented in cookbooks and for a strong desire to pass his cultural recipes to his children with hopes of them passing them to their children. So far, his website has appealed to not just his family, but it has been a huge hit for cooks around the whole world. Click here to visit his site.
WHO: Samori Camara
WEBSITE: Samoricamara.com / KamaliAcademy.com
NICHE: Homeschooling for black students
Samori is an instructor with a strong focus on helping black students to not fall victim to what he calls the “public fool system” by providing them with an education for liberation. He advocates that the black community start their own schools as well as home school their children in order to provide a proper education for black students so that they can apply their knowledge to the uplifting of their communities. Samori doesn’t just provide lip service, but he leads by example. He founded the African centered school Kamali Academy. His site provides powerful information on how to educate black children.

WHO: Denene Millner
WEBSITE: MyBrownBaby.com
NICHE: Black parenthood
Inspiration for big things can come from the unlikeliest places, so pay attention. Denene Millner’s website about black parents and their black children was inspired by Sarah Palin’s pregnant teenage daughter during the 2008 presidential election of all things. She says that her site, MyBrownBaby, was “created for African American moms looking to lend their critical but all-too-often ignored voices to the national parenting debate.” Denene is a respected author of many books and she also lends her writings and insightful expertise to many magazines, websites and TV shows.
