Local digital publication, Urban Girl Magazine is hosting their second Black Business Crawl! This is an event where attendees board a comfortable, stylish and fun party bus with other like minded people and discover new and unique local black owned businesses together. This event is officially being sponsored by Newark Happening, which is the ‘Greater Newark Convention and Visitors Bureau’.
This one of a kind experience will kick off August’s national ‘Black Business Month’. The purpose of the Black Business Crawl is to stimulate the local economy and to help further circulate the black dollar within the black community, and to have fun while doing this. Statistics show that the black dollar only circulates one time within the black community before it leaves. Compare this to Latino communities who have a circulation of 6 times, Asian communities have a dollar circulation of 9 times, and white communities dollar circulate an infinite number of times. This business crawl is a way to directly disrupt this statistic and to help increase the black dollar’s circulation.
This summer’s black business crawl will stop at 9 local black owned businesses in New Jersey. Each business is different and unique, check out the list below:
- Afro Taco – Newark, NJ
- DeVine Plantery – Montclair, NJ
- Brwn Box – Orange, NJ
- Montclair Brewery– Montclair, NJ
- Marcus B&P– Newark, NJ
- Neeva’s Beauty Lab– Newark, NJ
- JB Goddess Crystals– Linden, NJ
- The Sistah Shop– Elizabeth, NJ
- Nenriki Therapy – Newark, NJ
Attendees will receive special deals and incentives to use at each business.
The crawl works like this: the bus will stop at each business, guests will have an allotted amount of time to go inside and shop. Each guest will receive a free gift bag filled with products from black entrepreneurs.
If you missed the first one you don’t want to miss this one!
