Imagine you're hungry and you search for "soul food." A Black-owned restaurant appears just 1.6 miles away. With one tap you can call, visit the website or get directions. The Village Map makes it easy to find Black-owned businesses, support them, and help bring new ones to your neighborhood.

Today you'll find local restaurants, cafes, bakeries, bookstores and more in Los Angeles, Atlanta, Houston and New York. Enter your ZIP code, or use your location if you prefer, and the nearest businesses appear first, with their distance and city. You can also explore them all on the map.

Wherever you are in the US, you can shop Black-owned brands. Browse products and services by category, including food and seasonings, candles, clothing, books, jewelry, home and wellness, hair care, and services, then visit the brand's shop directly.

Your searches can also help bring new businesses to your neighborhood. When you look for something your area doesn't have yet, that search counts. An empty search isn't a failure. It's the point. The home screen shows "What your area is asking for," the searches nearby that haven't found a match. Together, those searches become real evidence of what residents want, the kind of evidence an entrepreneur can use to open the business your community is asking for. If you'd like to know when a matching business is listed, leave your email for that search and we'll let you know.

We're open about how each listing was added. Many show how Black ownership was confirmed, either certified by ByBlack or verified from the company's own statement, with a link so you can see the source. Others are marked Community Suggested. If something looks wrong, you can report it from the listing. Know a Black-owned business we're missing, or own one? You can add it in a few steps, and owners can send us a real photo to replace the stock image.

Your privacy matters. No account is needed. Searches are recorded anonymously, by general ZIP area only, and are never tied to you. If you use your location, your exact location is used for that single search and never stored. We only keep your email if you ask to be notified about a search, and we keep it with that search.

Find. Support. Build. Together.
