Welcome to The Black Exchange 757

From Norfolk to Suffolk.
Built by us. Sustained by us.

The next generation of Black-owned businesses is already here — learning, building, and preparing to lead across Hampton Roads.

The Black Exchange 757 exists to ensure they inherit more than stories.

They inherit visibility, community support, and an economy that recognizes their work.
