Jamaine Stanton, a Birmingham native, has launched the Black Business Traffic app to promote and support over 350 local Black-owned businesses.
The app serves as a digital guide featuring restaurants, barbershops, churches, and other establishments, making it easier for users to discover and support these businesses.
Stanton aims to provide a platform for grassroots entrepreneurs who have invested in their dreams by creating brick-and-mortar storefronts.
Businesses listed on the app are personally vetted by Stanton based on criteria like pricing, customer service, and online presence.
Denise Ali, owner of Alibomb House of Hemp, credits the app for expanding her customer base and providing invaluable exposure for her business.
Stanton plans to expand the app to Montgomery and Huntsville and eventually nationwide to continue supporting Black businesses.
