As Black History Month approaches, Community and Culture Inside Out is once again creating space to highlight Black excellence across Madison and the surrounding area. This ongoing feature was built to celebrate Black owned businesses, community leaders, and organizations that are shaping the culture and strengthening the 608.

Since the launch of the segment, more than eighty local Black owned businesses have been featured on air, giving listeners a chance to hear the real stories behind the brands they support. From entrepreneurs building from the ground up to established business owners creating jobs and opportunity, Community and Culture Inside Out focuses on voices that deserve to be heard.

For February, the mission is to connect with twenty new Black owned businesses that have not yet been featured. This is a free opportunity designed for long term exposure, not a one time shout out. The interviews are conversational, authentic, and focused on passion, purpose, and impact. The time commitment is minimal, but the visibility can make a lasting difference.

To be eligible, businesses must have a valid business license and either a physical brick and mortar location or a functioning website. Home based businesses and unsafe operations cannot be featured. These standards protect both the audience and the integrity of the platform. Businesses featured more than two years ago may be reconsidered for a new video interview.

Community and Culture Inside Out airs Monday through Friday just after 6:30 pm on 93.1 JAMZ. During Black History Month, the segment expands with three daily airings in the morning and afternoon, increasing reach and impact. The segment is proudly powered by the Madison Black Chamber of Commerce.

If you are a Black owned business in Madison ready to share your story and grow your visibility, this is the moment. Learn more and get connected at madtownjamz dot com slash ccio.
