List: Black-Owned Restaurants and Businesses in Tampa Bay

2020 has been one of the craziest years. It has been especially hard on our black-owned small businesses who may not have the same access to capital that other businesses do and who are dealing with the fallout of the Coronavirus and now racial tensions after the brutal murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

None of these things are new. Disparities in support for black-owned businesses has existed probably since the beginning of our country. There are ways to help make a difference though.

Here is a list of black-owned restaurants and businesses that you can support in Tampa Bay. If we all do our part, we can help our fellow businesses get through this storm. Consider supporting them.
