We recently sat down with Matthew Addai, one of the founders of Cashblack, Afrofiliate, and A.F.R.O.B.O.T to learn more about these innovative platforms. Cashblack is a cashback platform that offers returns on investment for purchases from Black-owned brands through their app or website. Afrofiliate is their affiliate network, empowering content creators to become brand ambassadors for Black-owned brands. A.F.R.O.B.O.T, a Chrome extension, suggests black-owned versions of products and services you already purchase, further promoting economic circulation within the black community.

The Cashback App that Pays You for Supporting Black-Owned Businesses

Cashblack is more than just a cashback app. It's a platform that encourages economic unity and empowerment within the black community. With every purchase you make through Cashblack, you're not only supporting a black-owned business, but you're also earning cashback. It's a win-win situation - you get to discover and support amazing black-owned products and services, and you get rewarded for doing so.

Alongside Cashblack, Matthew and his team have also developed Afrofiliate and AfroBot. AfroAffiliate provides a platform for content creators to become brand ambassadors for Black-owned brands, providing them with an additional source of income. A.F.R.O.B.O.T, on the other hand, is a Chrome extension that suggests black-owned alternatives for the products and services you already purchase. With A.F.R.O.B.O.T, supporting black-owned businesses becomes a seamless, integrated part of your online shopping experience.

The Future of Black Economic Empowerment

Platforms like Cashblack, Afrofiliate, and A.F.R.O.B.O.T are paving the way for a future where Black economic unity is the norm, not the exception. They're making it easier than ever before to discover, support, and invest in Black-owned businesses. While the talk of Black economic unity may have faded in recent years, these platforms are a powerful reminder of the potential within our community. Let's continue to champion this cause and make 'Buying Black' not a trend, but a lifestyle.
