Inspiration Behind the Name

The meaning behind the name 'Ben Black' is a triumph over doubt. It represents a collective of those who may not be seen, but has something to offer. For those who have a voice, but may have been silenced. Ben Black is not a single person, but represents those who deserve acknowledgement, so that they may grow and uplift their own self worth and pay it forward to those that depend on them and to the communities they serve.
