The Village Directory.

A verified, consumer-facing directory of Black-owned businesses. Find a lawyer, a barber, a caterer, a software agency, a bookkeeper — anywhere in the country, filterable by service, city, and specialty. Free for consumers to browse. Free for businesses to list.

For consumers.

The easiest way to circulate your dollars through the Black business community. Verified listings, honest reviews from actual members, no pay-to-play rankings. Find a business near you or hire one across the country.

No account required to browse. No tracking. No ads.

For businesses.

Claim or create your listing. Verify your ownership. Show up where the community is already looking. Every listing is free. Pro listings (coming later in the Walk phase) include enhanced placement, direct messaging, and analytics — priced at a level small businesses can actually afford.
