🎉 CELEBRATING 4 YEARS OF🎉 
🎉BLACK OWNED IN ROCHESTER! 🎉

For four years, we've been proudly supporting and showcasing Black-owned businesses across Rochester and Monroe County—and what a journey it's been!

Through your support, we've built an incredible community:

• 2000 Instagram followers (200 increase)

• 2200 Facebook followers (400 increase)

• 808 newsletter subscribers (that’s you!)

But social media is just the beginning! Our directory has made real impact:

• 15,000 visitors since April 2025

• 30,000 pages viewed in the last year

• 4,000 clicks connecting customers directly to local Black-owned businesses this year alone.

We're committed to continuing this important work. We've renewed our (expensive) website hosting, created a local impact calculator to remind everyone that every dollar matters, and we're excited for what's ahead!
