The Business

Olivia Robinson is the founder and CEO of BlackDollar LLC. BlackDollar is an app that helps people find Black-owned businesses all across the United States. Robinson conceptualized the app in 2019 as she became more educated on methods for achieving Black economic empowerment. She envisioned a resource that would connect all people interested in supporting Black businesses directly with Black-owned businesses themselves. Robinson set out to bring the app to fruition in spring of 2020 prior to graduating. BlackDollar is now available on the App Store and on Google Play.
