This year’s event will feature a “fireside chat” with special guest Christopher J.

The mixer will also highlight local business owners Brittani Millington, brand strategist and founder of BM Design; Boris Seymore, executive chef and owner of BDS Catering; and Jackie and Veronica Cooper, president & vice president of Cooper Construction Management & Consulting.
“Our black- and minority-owned businesses play a huge role in our local economy and this event helps shine a spotlight on these incredible entrepreneurs,” said Mayor James. “I encourage everyone to join us for an evening of networking, important updates from your City leaders and celebrating our outstanding Black business community.”
Observed every August, National Black Business Month (NBBM) was created to help increase the number of African/Caribbean‐American owned businesses on an international level. 2022 marks the nineteenth annual NBBM, encouraging the public to visit at least one black owned business on a daily basis throughout the month.
