School is back in session, and the lesson is Excellence.
This August, in honor of National Black Business Month, we are merging the "Back to School" rush with a celebration of Black entrepreneurship. Join us for a curated marketplace featuring the "Valedictorians" of their crafts—local Black-owned businesses that bring ambition, achievement, and authenticity to everything they create.
Whether you are a student heading back to campus, a teacher preparing your classroom, or a professional refreshing your home office, come shop with purpose and soul.
We’ve curated our makers into three distinct "academic" categories to help you find exactly what you need for the new season:
The Supply Closet (Stationery & Literacy): Elevate your note-taking with hand-designed planners, culturally inspired journals, and books by Black authors.
Campus Glow (Beauty & Personal Care): Refresh your morning routine with natural haircare, botanical skincare, and "first day" apparel that keeps you glowing.
The Dorm & Home Office (Home & Lifestyle): Transform your space into a sanctuary of productivity with hand-poured candles, artisan desk organizers, and soulful decor.
The "Gold Star" Perk: Teachers and students with a valid school ID receive exclusive perks at participating vendor booths.
Founder Spotlights: Hear the "soul stories" behind the brands throughout the afternoon.
Soulful Sounds: Vibe to a curated "Study & Soul" lo-fi and R&B playlist while you shop.
Are you a Black-owned business or artisan ready to showcase your excellence? We are currently seeking vendors who represent the best in stationery, beauty, home goods, and more.
Support the Brand. Support the Dream. Let’s get on the Honor Roll together.
