This was a community-focused radio discussion hosted by the city of Minneapolis on July 22, 2026, highlighting the upcoming Black Business Week, an initiative to support and celebrate Black-owned businesses in the city. Representatives from the West Broadway Business and Area Coalition and the Mayor's Office discussed the importance of economic equity, community wealth building, and the city's investment in marketing and supporting Black entrepreneurs. They detailed various events planned for the week, including a street mall, networking opportunities, professional development workshops, and resources for business certification and food entrepreneurs. The conversation also noted that Black Business Week has become an official city budget item, with funding and event coordination managed by the Community Planning and Economic Development department. Vendors were encouraged to register promptly to participate in the events, and resources like the Neon business incubator were highlighted as ongoing support for local entrepreneurs.
