Co-founder Cjala Surratt emphasizes the significance of consumer purchasing power and its crucial role in supporting Black creatives, cultural makers, and entrepreneurs. She asserts, “Every purchase is a tool for generating positive change.” When the community actively supports local Black-owned businesses, each transaction champions solidarity, resilience, and appreciation for the distinctive contributions of Black artists and entrepreneurs.”
