Internet business is a passion of mine and I love to discuss and share the successes that fellow black entrepreneurs are having with web businesses. When we see successful examples that look like ourselves, it’s easier to believe that we too can can achieve success.
I recently posted 5 Black Web Entrepreneurs Who Found Success With Black Niches and I feel that it is only right that I do it again.
Here is a list of five more black entrepreneurs, so enjoy and by all means, please check out their websites and support them.
WHO: Cassandre Beccai
WEBSITE: CassandreBeccai.com
NICHE: Black natural hair
Black women are in love with their hair, some even to the point of obsession. However living in a country that constantly bombards our women with images that tell them that they don’t fit the so-called standard of beauty, many of these same women do major damage to their hair by trying to look like the so-called status quo. Enter Cassandre Beccai to the rescue. This diva uses her website to show sistas how to appreciate their natural hair and how to look fabulous with it. She provides helpful blog and video tutorials on how to keep and maintain healthy, beautiful natural hair and she even has her own line of hair care products specially formulated to help sistas avoid those bad hair days.

WHO: Tariq Nasheed
WEBSITE: Tariqradio.com
NICHE: Relationship advice for black men
When it comes to knowing and utilizing “game” in order to have success in the dating arena, many people, according to author Tariq Nasheed, want to keep men ignorant and in the dark. By shedding light through his Mack Lessons radio show (now called Tariq Radio) about the mysteries of attracting the opposite sex without succumbing to being a weak “simp”, but a confident self-assured “mack” has made Tariq a sometimes controversial man. Upon inspecting the man’s work, those who erroneously assume that he teaches men to be disrespectful misogynists who trick women into sex with slick superfly lines will be surprised to find that the basis of his teachings are rooted in having integrity, honesty and confidence and just plain old standing up and being a man that respects himself and demands respect from others all with no disrespect to anyone else. Tariq has used his platform to help expand the consciousness of black people by producing the hit DVD series Hidden Colors which is a must see. His acclaim has grown so huge, that his message has transcended the dating arena and he is now a leading voice for the empowerment of black community. Click here to visit his site.
WHO: LaShanda Henry

WHO: Steven Muhammad
WEBSITE: Know4life.blogspot.com
NICHE: Black news stories and information
Feeling that mainstream media is at the mercy of the rich corporations who can pull their strings, Steven Muhammad believes that the news we receive is extremely watered-down and doesn’t show what’s really going in our world, but instead shows the public what they want them see, but not what they need to see. This brother provides alternative news stories from around the world that are relevant to the lives of black people. Often, the stories he presents are barely, if even mentioned by mainstream media although they are highly newsworthy. Steven Muhammad also hosts his own internet radio show which also presents news and info that concern black people. Click here to visit his website.
