When our community needs us, we show up. 🖤

BLD contributed $25,000 to Detroit People’s Food Co-op because keeping Black-owned, community-centered spaces thriving takes all of us.

Help keep that support going: shop at the co-op, become a member, and keep coming back. Consistent support makes a difference.

The Detroit Business Symposium was a huge success, and the energy in the room was a reminder of what’s possible when we come together to support our city’s entrepreneurs.

Thank you to everyone who attended, connected, and helped make this event special. A special shout-out to our funding partner, the Gilbert Family Foundation, for investing in entrepreneurs and the future of Detroit.

Let’s keep building on the conversations, connections, and momentum. We look forward to continuing this work with all of you!
