Why is the BIA Sustainability Summit in Miami? Over 50,000 Black businesses are based in Miami. In the last year due to anti-DEI initiatives funding dedicated to Black owned businesses has been stalled. Along with patronizing Black owned establishments, part of funding contributed will be donated to Miami based Black owned entrepreneurs.
