This has been years in the making.
Our family was in business long before I even existed, OVER 50 years ago and it always pulls at my heartstrings when I think about how proud my Pap would be to see Black-owned businesses setting up shop at the business him and my Nana built! To see the community coming together, showing up, supporting one another, and gathering in a place he built.
Through his family and everyone his life touched, his legacy lives on. ❤️
Entrepreneurs are the creatives, the dreamers, the change-makers, the ones brave enough to bet on themselves. For some, entrepreneurship is a way out. For others, it’s a pathway they’re creating for those coming behind them. It may be a hobby, a lifelong dream, or simply something they love to do. Whatever the reason, choosing to build something of your own is always a risk, and that deserves to be celebrated.
Tomorrow, come help us celebrate these businesses, show them some love, and connect with your community at the BBM: Summer Block Party!!
