Celebrating Black Business Month: Honoring Excellence, Elevating Visibility, and Embracing Legacy

August is Black Business Month, a time to recognize, celebrate, and support the innovation, resilience, and economic impact of Black-owned businesses across the country. At Enhanced DNA, we believe in the power of visibility and the importance of creating space for diverse voices, talents, and enterprises to be seen, heard, and valued.

But this month is more than a celebration. It’s a personal mission.

As a Black woman business owner, I understand firsthand the challenges, the perseverance, and the triumphs that come with building a business from the ground up. That’s why it’s not only important, but essential, for me to intentionally shine a light on other Black-owned businesses doing incredible work. Visibility leads to opportunity, and opportunity fuels sustainability and success.

Throughout this month, we will highlight Black-owned businesses that are not only building legacies but also serving communities, creating job opportunities, and changing industries. These businesses represent a wide range of sectors, from providing goods and products to professional services, wellness and education; and each one has a powerful story worth telling.

One example is PMPHASE Consulting Firm, a premier project and change management consultancy led by founder and CEO India M. Brown, MBA, PMP. Specializing in fractional project and change management services, PMPHASE serves as a trusted partner delivering high-impact solutions through project management, strategic execution, and solution engineering. Their approach, grounded in precision, agility, and innovation, empowers organizations to navigate change confidently and achieve sustainable results.

Another featured business is AAA Solutions, a workplace culture consulting and training firm that helps leaders improve employee engagement, reduce turnover, and increase productivity. With a data-driven approach, Through Andrew Adeniyi and AAA Solutions creates strategic plans that elevate organizational culture and provides tailored training to help leaders lead more effectively. They work closely with HR leaders, executives, and managers across diverse industries to build strong, thriving workplaces.

By amplifying the voices of these small business owners and so many others, we do more than just spotlight their work, we support their growth, extend their reach, and validate the impact they are making every single day.

Whether you’re looking for new businesses to support, seeking inspiration for your own

entrepreneurial journey, or simply want to celebrate Black excellence, I invite you to follow

along and meet some of the incredible business owners I’ve had the privilege of connecting with.

Let’s amplify their work, honor their contributions, and keep the momentum going—not just in

August, but all year long.

Stay tuned and get ready to be inspired.
