BLACK-OWNED BUSINESSES

BRICKROSE EXCHANGE
Created by former tech journalist Bianca Jackson , this charming 800-square-foot building in Canton offers three gathering spaces for meetings , dinners , retreats and private parties . When events aren ’ t taking place , the space doubles as an art gallery . Jackson ’ s support for and by the Black community is a huge part of her business , she told The Baltimore Sun last year — as she makes it a priority to use Black vendors at her events .
