June 7:   Restaurants - Indulge in the mouth-watering flavors of Black-owned eateries and savor every delicious bite.

June 14:  Services - From beauty salons to legal services, choose Black-owned businesses for your everyday needs and specialties.

June 21:  Retail Shops and Boutiques - Explore boutiques and retail shops where every purchase supports Black entrepreneurship.

June 28:  Black-owned brands at Walmart and Target – Let’s show major retailers that representation is important.

Sorors, you asked how we can support our own sorors who are entrepreneurs and owners. As a reminder, there is an AKA Business Directory located on our website where you can search for soror-owned businesses to support. If you’ve not registered your business, go to your profile in Members Only and add your information to the Member-Owned Business section near the bottom of the page.  

Each week in June, we’ll spotlight Black-Owned Brands and share more information on how your spending will make an impact. Be sure to read your weekly EBlasts for more details.
