5. The Buy from a Black Woman Community!
All of these highlights are amazing but none of it would be possible with out the support of the Buy from a Black Woman Community. This year we have grown and we know it because of the faith and trust you have in our mission and vision. For that we are grateful for your support.
Thank you so much for supporting and believing in Buy from a Black Woman.
We are able to keep going and keep our doors open because there are people like you who make monthly donations, purchased items from the Buy from a Black Woman Inspire Store, and sign your business up to be part of our Buy from a Black Woman Online Directory.
We look forward to having a bigger and more impactful 2020.
We look forward to having your support.
