Michigan Sustainable Business Forum is proud to present our annual Black Excellence in Sustainability campaign, recognizing Black and African American professionals who are leading the way in sustainability and sustainable business.

This campaign highlights leaders who are shaping a more sustainable, inclusive, and just future for Michigan. Each honoree has played a pivotal role in advancing climate leadership, social justice, and the circular economy—core priorities of our mission.

Each week, we will celebrate their impact and highlight the invaluable role they play in Michigan’s sustainability community.
