Our commitment to Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity in Orange County, North Carolina
Embracing diversity and supporting Black Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC) and their owned businesses are crucial steps in fostering a more inclusive and equitable community.
Supporting BIPOC-owned businesses is a tangible way to promote economic equity.
Communities in Orange County, North Carolina — including Chapel Hill, Carrboro and Hillsborough — have created directories and online platforms that highlight these businesses, making it easier for residents to find and support them.
Local governments throughout Orange County offers grants, mentorship programs, and business development workshops specifically for BIPOC entrepreneurs to help them thrive.
Moreover, the Chapel Hill/Orange County Visitors Bureau encourages residents and visitors to patronize BIPOC-owned businesses.
Creating inclusive spaces where everyone’s voice is heard is essential.
By embracing diversity and actively supporting BIPOC-owned businesses, all of us can build a more just, vibrant, and prosperous environment for everyone.
