Target recently highlighted its ongoing partnership with a group dedicated to Black founders, following a turbulent year marked by backlash, boycotts, and leadership changes.
The retailer’s renewed spotlight on Black businesses could signal a recalibration—and perhaps an effort to mend relations with communities that once helped define its brand ethos.
Partnership in the spotlight
In an Oct. 20 statement, Target pointed to its tie-up with the Russell Innovation Center for Entrepreneurs (RICE), which supports Black small business founders with education, mentorship, and access to retail opportunities. Through RICE’s Retail Readiness Academy, Target has helped fund initiatives that train emerging entrepreneurs in retail strategy and business scaling. The company also extended support through HBCU programs under its “HBCU, Always” series—an ongoing effort to connect graduates with Target’s mentorship network.
The timing is significant, notes journalist Habib
