“Innovative thinking makes the IMPOSSIBLE, POSSIBLE”
We’re back, we’re black, and we’re getting down to business! This month, we are officially relaunching the MGB Blog. Keep reading for all the details and a quick introduction to the newest Modern Green Book team member.
The MGB Blog is a celebration of black culture in all spaces. Supporting, celebrating, and uplifting black-owned businesses and organizations is the heart of the Modern Green Book, but our ability to empower our community stretches further. As we build upon the legacy of the original Negro Motorist Green Book, we want to continue championing black businesses and organizations while branching into all aspects of black culture.
Like our annual publication, The Complete Modern Green Book: Travel & Shopping Guide, the MGB Blog will highlight black businesses nationwide and share resources for current and aspiring entrepreneurs and founders. From breaking down fundraising methods and finding investors to interviews with business owners, the blog will serve as a tool for education and empowerment.
In addition to business profiles and resources, the MGB Blog will cover the various aspects of culture and life, such as art, media, history, wellness, travel, and personal development. Our goal is to dive deeply into the intricacies of our history and culture while sparking community-wide conversations to create wealth, promote growth, and share love within the Black community.
Additionally, the MGB Blog will continue to serve as the Modern Green Book’s news center, providing details of upcoming events and ways you can get involved.
We’ve been busy! In addition to churning out publications, we have a few in-person and online events for you!
Green Tea Talks: A series of curated conversations among entrepreneurs and professionals to educate and inspire budding business owners through unfiltered and authentic talks!
Meet the Owners: A live talk show of one-on-one chats with Modern Green Book founder Theo Edwards-Butler and business owners.
The MGB Marketplace at City Walk BHAM: On the last Saturday of each month, join the Modern Green Book as we support, celebrate, and uplift black-owned businesses and creatives. Held 4 PM-9 PM, you’ll find dozens of vendors, top black-owned restaurants, food trucks, and a specially curated vibe with local DJs and artists.
