About this listen
Tammy Pierce was deeply moved when she learned that only 1% of the contracts for public/private partnerships in Dallas were awarded to Black contractors, despite the fact that Black residents make up 28% of the city’s tax-paying population. This stark disparity highlighted a significant inequality in opportunities. This gave birth to her “why” and the start of United Black Contractors whose purpose is to empower and advocate for Black contractors to have access to contracts with cities, states, and counties. Her passion is to economically bolster Black males in America, because “when you build up Black men, you’re building up Black families.”
