Our Vision for Minority-Owned Business Excellence Creating visibility, connections, and growth opportunities for Black-owned businesses across the nation.
Meet Our Founder Dr. Michelle C. Powell
Black Business Lists was built with one mission: to empower, elevate, and grow minority-owned businesses.
Too many quality businesses in our community go unseen—not because they lack talent or drive, but because they lack visibility, access, and support. While other directories exist, they often make it hard for consumers to actually find and connect with minority-owned services.
That’s where we’re different. Black Business Lists makes it easy to discover, support, and do business with minority entrepreneurs. By improving digital access, increasing traffic, and building visibility, we help businesses not only survive—but scale.
When minority-owned businesses grow, our communities grow. We’re here to bridge the infrastructure gap, level the playing field, and circulate dollars where they make the most impact: right back into our communities.
Meet Our Founder Franceska Gonzalez
I started Black Business List because I saw a need—our businesses were doing incredible work, but too many were being overlooked. We built this platform to change that. This website is more than just a place to get listed. It’s a movement to amplify our voices, circulate our dollars, and build something lasting together.
The Black Business List is a platform where we support and celebrate each other’s businesses. We aim to dismantle obstacles, create opportunities, and establish an environment where Black excellence is not just the exception, but the norm.
When you join us, you’re not just adding your name to a directory. You’re plugging into a powerful network that’s focused on generational wealth, community growth, and real change. Let’s move forward—together.
Our Mission
Black Business Lists is on a mission to fuel economic empowerment and generational wealth by connecting consumers directly with high-quality, minority-owned businesses. Our platform exists to eliminate the barriers to visibility, growth, and community trust that too often stand in the way of minority entrepreneurs. We believe that by making it easy to find, support, and celebrate Black and minority-owned businesses, we strengthen our communities from the inside out.
Our Vision
We envision a future where every urban community in America has access to a thriving network of verified minority-owned businesses by 2030. Black Business Lists will be the go-to digital hub for discovering, reviewing, and supporting minority excellence—online and on the ground. Through technology, community outreach, and grassroots partnerships, we’re building a movement where visibility meets opportunity, and where buying Black and supporting minority businesses becomes the everyday standard.
Our Team Our diverse team brings together expertise in business development, technology, community organizing, and marketing to create the ultimate resource for Black and Minority-owned businesses.
