You're talking to bots, automated software that likes, shares, comments, and follows. Research shows up to 20% of social media chatter is generated by bots, posting, commenting, resharing, automated and unfiltered. In other words, 1 in 5 interactions doesn’t come from a person. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea9f518b7e92f2bbdf2b07c/08b3b6fd-f233-4a4e-8c95-6201ae5e8047/Juneteenth+Black+Lives+Matter+Ithaca+New+York.jpg News & Updates - Don’t Wait for the Future: Build It - If you’re part of BLOC or this movement, this is the time to act. Not just to catch up, but to lead. Not just to be seen, but to shape how we are seen. Because systems don’t serve us by default, they replicate what came before. Unless we interrupt them. Unless we program something better. Unless we show up now. Juneteenth reminds us what happens when we’re left out of the message.

But Love Doesn’t Pay the Rent. Hire queer and BIPOC-owned businesses. Need a designer, photographer, coach, or caterer? Start by looking in your local LGBTQIA+ or BIPOC-owned directories, or ask us. Refer, recommend, and review their work. Referrals are gold. And online reviews aren’t just nice, they’re strategic. Search for a queer-owned business you know on Google, TripAdvisor, or Yelp, and leave a detailed review using keywords about what they offer. This helps boost visibility and search rankings. Fund initiatives that provide resources and support. Whether it's sponsoring a workshop, donating to a business fund, or backing a grant, your financial support helps these businesses stay alive and grow. Show up to BLOC events, and invite others.

That’s eight years of building, thriving, and proving what’s possible when we come together. BLOC is officially eight years old! This milestone is a celebration of you, of us, of every entrepreneur, dreamer, and doer who has made this movement what it is today. With BLOC we break barriers, lift each other up and turn visions into reality. And the best part? We’re just getting started. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea9f518b7e92f2bbdf2b07c/0655f314-28f6-4d0c-90d3-284df33d50b4/8+year+anniversary+BLOC+4.jpg News & Updates - Celebrating Eight Years of Empowerment: The Legacy and Future of BLOC - The number eight carries deep meaning across cultures, it represents prosperity, balance, and infinite possibility. It is a number that never ends, looping seamlessly, symbolizing continuity, endurance, and evolution. And isn’t that exactly what BLOC is? A force that adapts, grows, and redefines what success looks like for business owners of color, women, immigrants, and all those carving their own paths. But this milestone is more than a number. It’s a testament to strength, the kind of strength that Bronze, the traditional gift for an eighth anniversary, represents. Bronze is forged by blending elements together, creating something durable, unbreakable. Just like BLOC, it is not one thing, but many, brought together in a way that makes it stronger than ever. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea9f518b7e92f2bbdf2b07c/e633be26-59ae-4feb-9f8d-4dbb13004ead/8+year+anniversary+BLOC+9.jpg News & Updates - Celebrating Eight Years of Empowerment: The Legacy and Future of BLOC - BLOC: The Answer That Keeps Growing When Gladys Brangman founded BLOC in 2017, she wasn’t just forming a business network. She was writing a new rulebook. She saw people with the drive, talent, and vision to build something real, but who lacked the support and access that others took for granted. She saw potential and she did something about it. BLOC was born from a simple but powerful truth: no one succeeds alone. Business ownership can feel like a lonely road, but not here. Here, success is built together. Every entrepreneur who has walked through BLOC’s doors has contributed to something bigger than themselves, a community that lifts as it climbs. In the past eight years, BLOC has: Helped hundreds of entrepreneurs in Ithaca and beyond build sustainable businesses. Provided essential mentorship, resources, and connections that turn ideas into income. Fostered a culture of collaboration, where businesses support each other, creating a ripple effect of economic growth. Grown into a movement that challenges outdated systems and builds new opportunities. And we are just getting started. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea9f518b7e92f2bbdf2b07c/ec9921d5-f57d-4477-b5e6-2e1a5de421e3/8+year+anniversary+BLOC+banner+2.jpg News & Updates - Celebrating Eight Years of Empowerment: The Legacy and Future of BLOC - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.businessleadersofcolors.com/news-updates/the-info-log-essential-updates-about-the-new-member-directory monthly 0.5 2026-03-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea9f518b7e92f2bbdf2b07c/01b4dde2-1a7c-45d0-b48b-a2adf66d53df/BLOC+directory.png News & Updates - The Info-Log: Essential Updates About the New Member Directory Inside the new directory you can now: Add photo galleries Showcase your work and case studies Upload videos Update business info and add links Share offers and deals Manage your billing and profile in one place Everything is managed through a simple login. https://www.businessleadersofcolors.com/news-updates/singtrece-member-spotlight monthly 0.5 2023-11-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea9f518b7e92f2bbdf2b07c/4ea58d46-34a9-4d38-a006-ce5df76363e7/SingTrece+BLOC+Member+Spotlight+Profile+Photo+.jpg News & Updates - Singtrece Member Spotlight - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.businessleadersofcolors.com/news-updates/kelly-white-10-years-serving-our-community monthly 0.5 2023-09-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea9f518b7e92f2bbdf2b07c/98e734d8-5351-4864-baa5-ca52f7c98412/Kelly+White+Logo.jpg News & Updates - Kelly White Member Spotlight - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.businessleadersofcolors.com/news-updates/ithaca-retail-entrepreneurship-program monthly 0.5 2023-09-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea9f518b7e92f2bbdf2b07c/a4f105fb-c772-4d83-bd23-037aab77a46f/IREP+Photo.jpg News & Updates - Ithaca Retail Entrepreneurship Program - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.businessleadersofcolors.com/news-updates/ifdpzd2v61lio69csieoa7opmt4p53 monthly 0.5 2022-12-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea9f518b7e92f2bbdf2b07c/6fe9d29f-3436-4f61-a731-a4930798e62e/A+Clean+Start+Member+Spotlight+Photo.jpg News & Updates - Anjila Gaudet’s - A Clean Start - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.businessleadersofcolors.com/news-updates/cncp44y4w7usgn3qkooss5dxnvbfho-dhksx monthly 0.5 2022-12-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea9f518b7e92f2bbdf2b07c/07c87d02-a9bd-479d-ac4a-01cd1746583c/Jeremy+Purifoy+-+Journey+Fitness+Corning.jpg News & Updates - Jeremy Purifoy Journey Fitness Corning - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.businessleadersofcolors.com/news-updates/dispensary-license-applications-open monthly 0.5 2022-08-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea9f518b7e92f2bbdf2b07c/51a78ce2-3af7-4401-a98a-7d6dffe3df29/Screen+Shot+2022-08-30+at+10.14.12+AM.png News & Updates - Dispensary License Applications Open - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.businessleadersofcolors.com/news-updates/a0zvs3crn0f58pge74r6ztoksmd1p7 monthly 0.5 2022-07-07 https://www.businessleadersofcolors.com/news-updates/cncp44y4w7usgn3qkooss5dxnvbfho monthly 0.5 2022-11-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea9f518b7e92f2bbdf2b07c/09b3c731-58fc-44af-b625-a6c4b3276eeb/MCM+Realty+Image+3.jpg News & Updates - Marshall C.

Nine years ago, Gladys Brangman created BLOC to bring entrepreneurs together in a way Ithaca had not seen before, a space where business owners of all colors could share knowledge, amplify each other’s work, and access opportunities that were often out of reach when navigating the system alone. What began as a bold idea has grown into a network that continues to strengthen businesses and relationships across our community. The number nine carries meaning across cultures. It represents completion, wisdom gained through experience, and the beginning of a new cycle. Reaching nine years is both a milestone and a moment to look ahead. During this gathering, and in recognition of Women’s History Month, we will also honor the women whose leadership and dedication helped shape BLOC. Come celebrate the journey so far and the future still unfolding. Please register so we know how many guests to expect. https://www.businessleadersofcolors.com/events/kb8geqi6pac6w4o83poe9mchytpqbd monthly 0.5 2026-02-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea9f518b7e92f2bbdf2b07c/2f39dc9c-3fc7-4114-bd91-e25010245557/2601+MWBE+conference+Eventbrite+Banner.jpg Events - Upstate NY MWBE Conference 2026 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea9f518b7e92f2bbdf2b07c/1771706181139-QSG9O35UH8UKT09F37PZ/032223FINANCE+MWBE+Opening+Night-0477.jpg Events - Upstate NY MWBE Conference 2026 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea9f518b7e92f2bbdf2b07c/1771706179549-ZMRSSFEN9NTCUF7N174B/050924+MWBE+Kickoff-06045.jpg Events - Upstate NY MWBE Conference 2026 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea9f518b7e92f2bbdf2b07c/1771706179297-Z823FSQXP4MFSM52MQLI/033125_MWBE_Conference_-9370.jpg Events - Upstate NY MWBE Conference 2026 https://www.businessleadersofcolors.com/events/bloc-connections-2 monthly 0.5 2026-02-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea9f518b7e92f2bbdf2b07c/c04d1dfa-8949-43fe-9e9e-d3e2d766216d/reconnect+deb+19+copy.jpg Events - BLOC Connections - This gathering is about being in the same room with local entrepreneurs, creatives, and community members who are actively building, supporting, and strengthening local business and community.

How your small business can benefit: Make educated decisions instead of “stressing and guessing”: Without access to affordable legal advice, business people often “stress and guess” and make uninformed decisions that can lead to bad legal outcomes. Affordable monthly rates vs. high hourly rates: As LegalShield’s monthly membership rates are so affordable, you no longer have to choose between trying to fix complex legal problems on your own or hiring an expensive lawyer. Be proactive, don’t play defense: You have access to legal help from experienced lawyers whenever you need it. https://www.businessleadersofcolors.com/events/empowerher-vendors-pop-up monthly 0.5 2026-02-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea9f518b7e92f2bbdf2b07c/9ce43088-cfd9-4ed8-9143-10acd708a91e/empowerher+feb+18+copy+410.jpg Events - EmpowerHer Vendor's Pop-Up! - EmpowerHer Ithaca Black History Month Vendor Pop-Up!
