There are more Black-owned businesses in America than ever before. Finding them, supporting them, and building one is a different conversation entirely.
The Kickback With Keri is a podcast hosted by Keri Henderson, a small business consultant and community builder with 15 years of experience in procurement, small business content marketing, and consulting. Keri built this platform because she believes Black-owned businesses deserve more than a moment of visibility. They deserve a community that shows up for them.
In each episode, Keri kicks back with Black entrepreneurs, founders, and small business owners to get into small business strategy, business insights, and what it actually takes to grow a Black-owned business – finding customers, overcoming barriers, closing the racial wealth gap, and building generational wealth in Black communities.

#43 Why do Black-owned businesses cost more and why do customers question the price? In this episode, we’re talking about Black-owned business pricing, the real cost of running a small business, and the complicated expectations around “support Black businesses.”
Why are Black-owned brands criticized for charging what their products are actually worth while consumers often accept higher prices from large corporations and luxury brands? We’re breaking down the pricing double standard, why independent businesses may need to charge more to survive, and why comparing a small business to a big-box retailer isn’t always fair.
We also look at what brands like Actively Black offer beyond the product itself, including quality, customer experience, mission, and community impact and why those factors matter when deciding whether something is “worth the price.”
If you’ve ever questioned the price of a Black-owned product, wondered why supporting Black businesses can cost more, or you’re a Black entrepreneur struggling to price your products without apologizing for the cost, this conversation is for you.
