Over the years, Killeen, Texas has definitely improved when it comes to connecting people to essential community resources right here in the community in one location. Honestly, a lot of that, in my opinion, has to do with Ronnie Russell, who is the founder of The Innovation Black Chambers of Commerce, which is a nonprofit organization.

A lot of black-owned businesses find themselves, lacking in certain resources due to the fact that they just might not be aware that they have it.

Keep in mind at the end of the day taking care of our community should always be a priority, and having the right tools and resources is what this event is all about.
