Nikki Porcher and the Buy From A Black Woman team have won Silver Stevie® Awards for Thought Leader of the Year and Support Staffer of the Year at the 23rd Annual American Business Awards®, recognizing their operational excellence and impactful leadership in supporting Black women entrepreneurs.

ATLANTA, April 29, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Buy From A Black Woman has been honored with two Silver Stevie® Awards at the 23rd Annual American Business Awards®, marking another major national recognition for the nonprofit's work in economic advocacy and support for Black women entrepreneurs. Founder Nikki Porcher was awarded a Silver Stevie for Thought Leader of the Year, while a core team member was honored with a Silver Stevie for Support Staffer of the Year for their exceptional behind-the-scenes contributions.

The American Business Awards® are the nation's premier business awards program, with over 3,600 nominations submitted this year from organizations of all sizes and industries. Winners were selected by more than 250 global professionals through a rigorous judging process.

From advocacy to execution, every part of our work is intentional and community-centered.

Judges commended Nikki for "elevating the discourse on Black women's economic power while driving real, measurable change." Her work combining research with action led to $2.7M in revenue generated for Black women-owned businesses in 2023/2024, despite the widespread defunding of DEI programs. The Buy From A Black Woman support team member was also recognized for exceptional organizational skills, a deep commitment to process optimization, and contributions that were described as both technical and transformational. One judge called the work a "standout example of what exceptional support leadership looks like."

"These recognitions speak to the power of what's possible when Black women lead," said Nikki Porcher. "From advocacy to execution, every part of our work is intentional and community-centered. I'm proud to share this moment with our team because their contributions are vital to every success we achieve," added Nikki.

Nikki founded Buy From A Black Woman in 2016 to combat the systemic barriers Black women face in entrepreneurship. What began as a business directory has grown into a multinational movement with 266.8K supporters, offering funding, resources and retail partnerships that have propelled 680+ businesses forward. Over time, Nikki has become a thought leader who has published articles and led research on entrepreneurship, including a critical study on DEI rollbacks; been invited to speak at major events such as Hope Global Forum and SXSW, and asked to lead a series of panels for The White House Initiative on Advancing Educational Equity, Excellence, and Economic Opportunity for Black Americans; while sharing her ideas across mediums (earning 10.6 billion media impressions last year), whether it's through features by major outlets such as AdWeek and Black Enterprise or her residency on the Karen Hunter Show on SiriusXM Urban View, or by producing award-winning content like BFABW's documentary Listen To Black Women: A Black Woman Research Project.
