BLEU ADAMS

MANDAN/HIDATSA, DINE’

Bleu is a serial entrepreneur and founder of Black Sheep Café and Blue Poblano, a culmination of Bleu’s love of food, art and her culture. Bleu was one of 21 recipients in the nation to receive a scholarship to attend the First Annual James Beard Foundation’s Women’s Entrepreneurial Leadership (WEL) program in 2017. Although Bleu will always seek involvement in the food scene, her true passion lies in economics, business infrastructure and strengthening her community. These two passions came together in the form of Indigehub. Bleu created Indigehub to function as a space where entrepreneurs are born through creative collaboration, business education and networking. Indigehub is helping to combat some of the unique challenges that Native American reservations are currently facing. Bleu’s mission is to strengthen not only her own Navajo community but to also connect Native American reservations across the country. Bleu believes that by providing a place to unite, the Tribal Nations can work as a whole to create a platform for current and future generations to work towards a better economic future while maintaining their rich culture.
