The Miami-Dade County Black Affairs Advisory Board partnered with several community organizations to compile a comprehensive list of the civic, professional, cultural, and business organizations that comprise the African Diaspora in Miami-Dade County.
The 2020/2022 publication now is online demonstrating the strength and viability of the Black World Community, even after the economic strain caused by COVID-19, as it placed many small, especially minority-owned, businesses at risk.
The Miami-Dade County Black Affairs Advisory Board, as part of the Office of Community Advocacy, continues to act in an advisory capacity to the county commission and advocates for the social, economic, political and educational needs of our constituents.
“We hope that this publication will inspire those who view it to connect and support these organizations and businesses that make Miami-Dade County an exciting and dynamic place. We encourage the community to engage with businesses through our ‘I Support BOB’ (Black Owned Businesses) campaign,” said Black Affairs Advisory Board chair Stephen Hunter Johnson.
“For several years the Black World Guide has reflected the Black Affairs Advisory Board’s effort to connect the organizations, programs and businesses that represent the Black World Community currently in existence in Miami-Dade County. By placing the guide online, we hope to make it more accessible to the community,” said program director Retha Boone-Fye.
For more information, contact Black Affairs Advisory Board Program director Retha Boone-Fye at 305-375-4606 or by email at Retha.Boone-Fye@miamidade.gov.
The Office of Community Advocacy, under the county commission, oversees 10 advisory boards and the Miami-Dade County Goodwill Ambassadors Program. The office is charged with making Miami-Dade County “One Community” embracing a diverse and unique population.
