Rooted in North Minneapolis and inspired by Houston White’s journey, The Mixtape Strategy works to cultivate a Black-led, culturally rich, and economically thriving district where businesses grow, artists create, and young people see excellence in their own backyard.

Through workforce development, placemaking, and community-driven programming, we aim to honor and elevate the legacy of Black American culture while building a self-sustaining, mixed-income neighborhood that inspires what’s possible.
