Now, more than ever, Black voices need not only to be heard, but they also need to be supported. With the help of local restaurant aficionado Zachary Fagenson, who rounded up an incredible list of restaurants, and by polling our community, we’ve curated a working guide to Black-owned businesses in Miami. From unforgettable places to grab a meal to creative agencies, artisans and beyond, we’d like this list to serve as a lasting sustainable resource to maintain support for these businesses year-round.
This is a working resource and we will continue to update it with your input. To add any business to this guide, please submit details here.
Also, please be sure to check out the local people and organizations who have been doing this work. Media platform The Hungry Black Man by Starex Smith consistently focusses on sharing the delicious work of the Black and minority food and drink system in South Florida here. Fabiola Fleuranvil with Miami-Dade Economic Advocacy Trust have created Black Pages Miami. And the Miami-Dade County Black Affairs Advisory Board has created the Black World Guide that covers Black organizations and businesses in the county. Additionally, S FL Black Business Directory, Support Black Owned, MIA Magazine, and Minority Biz are incredible resources for Black business.
