What We Do
Four Pillars of Community Investment
MKE Black creates sustainable pathways to visibility, connection, and wealth for Milwaukee's Black community through four core initiatives.
01
Black Business Directory
A comprehensive, searchable directory of Black-owned businesses throughout Milwaukee. We make it easy to discover, support, and connect with local entrepreneurs across every industry — from food and retail to professional services and more.
02
Social Media Promotions
We amplify Black-owned businesses and community stories across social channels, growing visibility and driving real customer connections. Our promotional efforts reach thousands of community members and allies who are actively looking to support.
03
Facilitate Connections
MKE Black bridges business owners, community leaders, investors, and potential customers. We create spaces — both digital and in-person — where meaningful introductions happen and lasting partnerships form.
04
Black Cultural & Business Events
Since summer 2020, we have organized and supported cultural and business events that celebrate Black excellence, build community, and generate economic opportunity. These events serve as a gathering point for Milwaukee's Black community and its allies.
