Join the Movement. Be Part of the Regional Renaissance.

The Regional Renaissance

In 2025, our theme of Regional Renaissance here at your Black BRAND community is about us coming together to honor our past, empower our present and build our future.

Regional Renaissance is a commitment to revitalizing Black communities throughout Hampton Roads. Inspired by unearthing the history of Church Street in Norfolk and realizing Black Wall Streets existed across the nation (and not just in Tulsa, Oklahoma), we recognize the untold stories-our stories-and economic power within our region.

At Black BRAND, we seek to embody the spirit of Sankofa-honoring our past while forging new opportunities for economic empowerment and business growth. And, as a regional organization, we experience Hampton Roads as dynamic, bursting with real opportunity.

A Vision Rooted in Legacy and Growth
