Building Sustainable Black Wealth: Mixer & Community Conversation

Join SBN, Grant Blvd., and Honeysuckle Projects in celebrating Black Business Month this August at a mixer and community conversation. This event aims to shed light on important topics such as wage equity, entrepreneurship, and pathways to sustaining Black wealth in our communities.

This event will provide a platform for networking, knowledge sharing, and dialogue among entrepreneurs, community leaders, and individuals interested in supporting the growth of Black businesses. It is an opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals who are passionate about creating a more equitable and prosperous future for all.

We’re also thrilled to share that local and state elected officials will provide remarks on the need for Pennsylvania to raise the minimum wage, as well as highlight the importance of wage equity and explain why Black business owners are at the forefront of this movement.

Guests can expect to enjoy light bites and refreshments provided by Honeysuckle Provisions, beer and wine, lively music all while contributing to the ongoing conversation surrounding wage equity and wealth creation within the Black community.

Date: Tuesday, August 8

Time: 5:30 pm

Location: Grant Blvd., 140 S. 34^th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104

This program is free and open to all.
