Our Story
Michael F. Whiteman

Heritage
First-generation
Caribbean American
Roots
Saint Lucia · Trinidad
Queens, New York
Growing up in Queens, one truth became impossible to ignore: Black businesses survived or shuttered based almost entirely on the support of their own community. No algorithm surfaced them. No platform championed them.
"Within the Caribbean community, it is imperative to support each other — to encourage wealth and prosperity among one another."
More Noir exists to act on that belief — centralizing Black business discovery city by city, connecting a paying member community directly with verified Black-owned businesses, and keeping Black wealth within the community where it belongs.
Exclusive and Unapologetic — built by us, for us.
