The MNBlackBox Story
Our objective is to financially support and promote Black businesses. Every month we feature new products from local business owners. We believe that one way to rebuild our communities and wealth is by financially supporting one another.
Minnesota Black Box is a collective of business owners, family members, community and our supporters. Likeminded people that believe in supporting and sustaining Black businesses.
. "Supporting Black businesses, one box at a time."
Our purpose is to financially support, promote, and network with other small Black owned business owners. By doing this intentional work, we believe that we will all grow and be successful. We are rooted in building community, sharing resources and learning from each other. Our monthly box brings awareness, shifts spending patterns and provides opportunities for our guests to experience new products
