GreensboroBLACK... helping BLACK OWNED businesses since 2012!
In 2012, Greensboro native Jackie White founded GreensboroBLACK. She and her parents patronized an established black owned restaurant on Valentine’s Day and there were less than 15 people dining in the business. The food was great, prices were competitive and service was amazing but hardly anyone was there. Jackie went home and knew she had to do something to help get the word out about fellow #blackowned businesses in and around her community. Since then her platform has been helping black owned businesses in and around the Triad area SURVIVE & THRIVE!
