“Joshua Bean and Hillary Van Dyke are socialpreneurs and educators with a passion for achieving equity for Black people in Tampa Bay. Part of that work means assuring the economic vitality of the Black community. Our name is a nod to the “Negro Motorist Green Book,” the guidebook listing safe places for Black Americans traveling across Jim Crow America. Now, we aim to provide you with information on Black historical and cultural sites, Black artists, and Black-owned businesses in Tampa Bay that ALL people can support. We hope that the Green Book of Tampa Bay serves as a mobile travel guide and becomes your first stop for ANY service that you need.
