About Us

Hello Charleston and beyond,

​

I am very excited about the direction Young Black Entrepreneur Magazine is moving in. For the last 9 years and 36 issues, our editorial focus has been centered around Black entrepreneurship on a national level. Now, our message is being shifted to highlighting EVERYTHING happening within Charleston, South Carolina and the Lowcountry areas. We will become a lifestyle publication which will continue to support the journey of entrepreneurship. 

​

We are interested in covering all aspects of our African-American culture while welcoming other ethnic groups within our fold. Our track record for providing a stable platform for our community has prepared us for this next step.

​

As our media needs continue to evolve, my team has always been focused on being in front of these changes. I believe that our content must exist on all platforms and meet our readers where they are. 

​

Our traditional editorial features will be combined with filmed and audio content for the Charleston Compass Online Television and radio network. This is a major step within this market place to give voices to the voiceless within Charleston. The Arts, Politics, Fashion, Food and Wellness will be our editorial pillars to stabilize our vision of leading the Lowcountry into the future.

 

We are committed to building this from the ground-up and will do so with the ethics and values our Young Black Entrepreneur Magazine readers have grown accustomed to. 

 

Thank you for your willingness to join and support us.
