On a night filled with sequins, laughter, and long embraces, Montgomery County’s Black business community gathered at the Doubletree Hotel in Gaithersburg, Maryland on Nov. 20, for an evening that felt less like an awards ceremony and more like a family reunion.
The inaugural Black in Business Awards, hosted by the Montgomery County Black Business Council in partnership with MBA Growth Partners, honored 15 entrepreneurs whose resilience, collaboration, and leadership have reshaped what Black business success looks like in the county.
