NEPA’s First Directory of Black-Owned Businesses

The Black Business Directory was the very first project created by Founder Glynis Johns in 2018, laying the foundation for what would evolve into the Black Scranton Project. Recognizing a need for a comprehensive list of Black-owned businesses in Scranton and the surrounding areas, Glynis built this directory to spotlight and support local entrepreneurs. Though simple in design, it has significantly boosted the visibility and success of many of the region’s business owners. Everyone featured here is considered part of the BSP family, and we’re always eager to connect with new artists, business owners, musicians, and creatives.

  • Black Scranton Project  joins the Pennsylvania Business Assistance Network guided by The Covation Center to strengthen entrepreneurship and economic opportunity in Scranton and Northeastern PA. Building on existing partnerships and local assets, the Business Assistance Center will connect entrepreneurs to the resources, relationships, and support systems they need to start, grow, and scale businesses while creating stronger communities and pathways to prosperity.

  • Over 10 weeks, participants work through key areas of business growth including marketing, customer strategy, financial literacy, forecasting, operations, hiring, and long-term planning.

  • We have events designed to strengthen local entrepreneurial ecosystems, foster connections, and

    increase awareness of available business resources.
