Event Details
Join Diversity Marketplace (DMp) as we showcase the talent, skills, ability and knowledge that God has given black people.
The Diversity Marketplace (DMp) is hosting an entrepreneur expo event. This quarter’s theme is “Young, Fly & Branded.” You will be able to learn about young black businesses and their stories and maybe even get inspired to want to start your own. We have vendors from the west to the east coast and even some Springfield Baptist Church members. You will see an Esthetician, a jewelry maker and even a black ballerina.
During this time of social distancing our worship and church is not restricted by distance and the same is true of the black community – we have expanded as we unite.
Quick Fact: There was a time that the dollar remained in the black community for 3-5 years! Let’s get back to this time!
Our goal as DMp is to be a conduit to help expose and bridge the gap among us with a primary goal of maintaining the dollar within the black community for more than a few hours.
Join us on Zoom – Saturday, May 22, 2021 from 6 – 8pm to learn more about the stories of a few black small businesses that are designed to inspire and encourage. When we help one, we help us all. Are you shopping with DMp?
Disclaimer: Your purchasing experience will be COMPLETELY between you and the vendor.
