While many people come to Martha's Vineyard to eat, drink, and shop in Oak Bluffs, it's essential to acknowledge that numerous businesses across the island don't always receive the recognition and support they deserve. Thanks to India Rose's efforts in creating the MV Black Business Directory, visitors can easily locate these businesses and provide them with the support they deserve. To assist in uplifting these businesses, we've curated a tour specifically for Boston Ujima Project members to escape the city's hustle and immerse themselves in the island life while supporting black business owners!
