Celebrating Black Excellence and Unlimited Potential

We also continue to focus on creating economic opportunity towards a more inclusive and equitable marketplace, and this past summer Walmart and Sam’s Club convened our first Equity in Entrepreneurship Summit and Procurement Connect event hosted by our Supplier Diversity & Inclusion team.

Walmart’s Black & Unlimited marketing platform also plays a role in sharing the inspirational stories of innovative entrepreneurs and the unlimited potential and creativity of Black creators, influencers, and media. Now in its third year, Black & Unlimited has supported cultural events like Something in the Water Festival, hosted a creators’ tour across HBCUs, launched the Ebony X Walmart She-E-O Series, partnered with HOORAE Media to create an on-going digital development program, and spotlighted Black fatherhood in partnership with the American Black Film Festival. Discover Black-led brands, founders and more activations coming soon at Walmart.com/BlackandUnlimited.

Investing in a future where everyone thrives

The Walmart.org Center for Racial Equity helps communities live better by complementing and extending business efforts through philanthropic investments focused on building equitable outcomes in the Black and African American community. To date, the Center’s investments in organizations advancing racial equity total more than $58 million across the finance, education, health, and criminal justice systems, with an additional $7 million supporting racial solidarity.

Strengthening Black health equity

Walmart is committed to supporting healthy communities. Our Black Health Heroes programming focuses on strengthening physical, emotional, and mental health, including through our second annual Health is Wealth Weekend in collaboration with Black Enterprise.
