Black Owned in Rochester Weekly Newsletter

Good Day Rochester!

Happy Thursday! If you checked out a Black owned business this week hit reply to this email… I’m trying to see something.

In other news I’m about 4/5th of the way through updating the listings on the directory. I have faith that we’ll complete it by EOD tomorrow!! We’ve deavtivated 34 businesses which about 9% of what was active previously but in doing the research I’ve uncovered more businesses! So the innovation and entrepreneurship continues to thrive in the Black community and Rochester as well! Woop woop!
