Small businesses on TikTok share their stories and connect with their communities to build new opportunities. We value our diverse community, especially the Black-owned businesses who work hard to achieve their dreams and grow on our platform. We are committed to providing a fair playing field for Black-owned businesses to scale and succeed.\n\nIn celebration of #BlackBusinessMonth this August, we are excited to announce that applications are now open for the third round of our Support Black Businesses accelerator program on TikTok.
