Happy Sunday and Welcome to the final day of Blackout week, Day 8!

Day 8 is “Shop Only Newark Black-Owned All Day”.

This may be our last day publicly supporting and encouraging others to support Black-Owned businesses, but hopefully we accomplished shedding light on the many doable ways you can continue to choose Black-Owned services for your next purchase or participation in your own community.

That being said, the city we are representing today of course, is Newark. Some of you may have shopped at local Newark stores already in the past, but I will give a directory for some locations anyways.

As always, please go out or go online and shop Black-Owned. Support your friends and family. Sharing their work is free!

Welcome to Day 7 of Blackout week and I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend!

Day 7 of Blackout week is “Gift a loved one something from a Black-Owned business”.

Today we highlight the local Central Newark wholesale/retail store which is a favorite of Chad School Foundation Program Assistant Asha , “Queen African & Caribbean Market”. She stated "I have personally shopped there a few times and continue to do so. Some of the items that I love to get from there are their imported black soap for my sensitive skin and white yams that my culture (Jamaican) uses often in their cooking. As a person who just moved to Newark, New Jersey 2 years ago and came from a predominantly Caribbean neighborhood where my cultural foods were more accessible, it is comforting to have a store to find those same goods in my neighborhood."

So, stop by today if you are in the area and try some genuine African and Caribean products with your friends and/or family!
