~What Technology to Use to Find Other Black Owned Businesses~
EatOkra (iOS and Android)
• If you’re in the mood for food, consider checking out EatOkra.
• Founded by Anthony and Janique Edwards in 2016, this app helps you
locate Black-owned restaurants in 35 different cities, including
Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Minneapolis, Chicago, and more.
• Don’t get offended if you log on and notice that a beloved Black restaurant
from your city is missing. EatOkra relies on users to help direct it to more
restaurants, so go ahead and add the ones you know.
WeBuyBlack (web)
• WeBuyBlack is a website home to thousands of Black-owned businesses.
• You can find all sorts of products like jewelry, clothing, and children’s toys.
Plus, you get the benefit of shopping Black without having to leave your
home.
I Am Black Business (iOS and Android)
• Both a website and a mobile app, I Am Black Business is a directory that
not only helps consumers find Black businesses but gets their owners
utilizing new technologies.
• “Ultimately, our goal is to educate black business owners on the power of
technology and give them a tool that will help them improve their business
reach and profitability,” the website reads.
Where U Came From (iOS)
• By accessing either its website or mobile app, WhereU Came From can
help you find Black-owned businesses and professional services.
• Also, WhereU Came From lets you refer your family and friends
to businesses you trust.
Official Black Wall Street (iOS and Android)
• In 2015, Mandy Bowman founded the Official Black Wall Street after
learning about the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921. White residents targeted
homes and businesses of the Greenwood neighborhood, which used to be
known as Black Wall Street.
• Describing itself as the largest platform for Black businesses, one unique
aspect about the app is that it sends push notifications whenever you’re
near a Black-owned business.
