Bantucola is an organization dedicated to empowering Black-owned businesses and advocating for social, economic, and cultural equity in the Gulf Coast region.

1. Resources and Networking: Helping business owners connect with one another, access financial support, and grow their businesses through education, mentorship, and partnerships.

2. Advocacy: Bantucola works to raise awareness about the challenges Black business owners face, from economic disparities to policies that disproportionately affect the community. We advocate for change at local, state, and national levels.

3. Community Empowerment: We aim to build a thriving, supportive community where Black entrepreneurs can access the tools and opportunities they need to succeed. This includes hosting events, workshops, and networking sessions to elevate businesses and create a stronger sense of solidarity.

4. Economic Justice: Through our advocacy, events, and partnerships, Bantucola seeks to break down the barriers that Black business owners face, contributing to the creation of a more equitable economy for everyone.
