  3. Featured on @CLTBlackOwned - Week of August 17 Recap

Each week the team at @CLTBlackOwned — Maddy, Jeff, Ashley and Jeremy — highlights a different Black-owned business in Charlotte and the surrounding area. The Queen City has a rich community of Black-owned retailers, restauranteurs, service-providers, creatives, consultants and innovators who are doing great work and deserve the spotlight.

To help them advance the mission of @CLTBlackOwned and get more eyeballs on these stellar businesses, we’ll recap their selections regularly in The Biscuit. Support the seven businesses and entrepreneurs below with your financial capital and use your social capital to help spread the word. Shopping small and shopping local helps our community grow and thrive.

You can also suggest any Black-owned businesses that @CLTBlackOwned should know about. And give them a follow on Instagram to stay in the loop on their daily business recommendations!

Choice Words from CLTBO: “Issa Vibe Adventures was established in July 2017 by three friends. Charles Gbenyon, Lisa Colvin, and Ali Steele consider themselves adventure enthusiasts. After the group of friends explored and documented their journey exploring the mountains and waterfalls, they gained interest of many seeking to explore nature. They knew they could help other people of color do the same thing and Issa Vibe was birthed!”
