Atlanta resident Nikki Porcher started Buy From A Black Woman, Inc. after she went to an event for entrepreneurs in the city and didn’t see any Black-owned businesses.

That was back in 2016. The nonprofit’s directory of more than 500 Black women-owned businesses was created to raise awareness of the companies and to help fund them.
