About Ashanti Exchange

Serving Our Community, Our Way

Are you ready to buy black?

Has there ever been a time when you were out of town and wanted to patron a black-owned business? Do you remember the difficulty? The Googling? The calling and texting? Back during the Jim Crow era, there was one resource called the Green Book which detailed all this information and helped keep the black dollar within the black community. In an effort to reconnect and revitalize our community’s economy, Ashanti Exchange will be the new online resource for black owned businesses nationwide.

Welcome to the new age Green Book.

MEET THE FOUNDERS

Jeff Chery

Having fewer opportunities means we need to pave our own. That’s the spirit behind this project.

B. Jerome Volcy

It’s an unfortunate truth that in America, we as black people are afforded fewer chances, so we need to work twice as hard.
