Support Black-owned business.
The community platform for discovering, reviewing, and supporting Black-owned businesses in your area — and keeping the dollar circulating close to home.
Everything you need to find, vet, and support local business.
Delineation puts verified ownership, honest reviews, and the people behind each business front and center.
Businesses you can trust.
Browse and search 19 categories by city, ZIP, or name. Every listing shows verified ownership, ratings, and how close it is.
- Black-Owned, Black-Operated & Freedmen-Owned designations
- Search by location, category, or rating
- Save favorites and share with friends
Ratings that actually matter.
Rate what shapes a real visit — not just a single star. Add photos and video, and reviews are checked before they publish.
- Hours, cleanliness, safety, product availability & respect
- Photos and video on every review
- Helpful votes, badges & a reviewer leaderboard
Find them on the map.
Color-coded pins across every category show what’s close and what’s open now, so supporting local is effortless.
- Color-coded pins by category
- Near Me & distance sorting
- Tap through to full business profiles
Stronger, together.
