The Bite Of Black Business

We will also be the Bite of BLACK Business because BLACK is BEAUTIFUL! - We are not afraid of being a space we created for our people!

It’s not that fewer blacks are showing up , it’s the strategy. Everyone knows folks of color to the back those who are pale skinned get to the front. Don’t let them divide us. We stand with our brown brothers and sisters. ✊🏽

Black people are present, but many have been vocal about choosing not to engage in the same ways they once did. Some have even pushed back against certain protest tactics. This shift has been interpreted by some as apathy or retreat. It is neither.

I honestly can’t believe we have made it to event 6 of season 5. We started this back in 2020 as a protest to encourage and support Black Entrepreneurs. From a community group to a nonprofit, from a protest with no permits to a farmers market with permits , insurance, bathroom and handwashing stations. From our first back pack give away 100 bags to our 4th giving away over 1000 bags. It’s been a journey. I wanna thank every vendor we have ever had , every volunteer, every community partner, every artist , every dj , every community member who came out to support ,every bouncy house company every facepainter , Every security , reinforced or uncle who help keep The Bite Of Black Business a non violent space. It’s been a honor serving the youth and those in my community. It truly takes a village. Join us at The Bite Of Black Business September 7 2024 as we celebrate bring us , help encourage voter registration, provide space for local candidates and as always provide a fun and safe space to enjoy the sunshine.
