“It’s very important to support Black businesses. We get the short end of the stick sometimes, so we are here to promote our businesses. We are here!” said Julanda Davies, owner of Herbal Lady.
All put together by Black San Diego, the Mental Bar and Pillars of San Diego, the free street fair brings a breath of fresh air into the community, especially after last month’s devastating floods.
“I feel the vibes because coming from the floods, we can now put back into our community and celebrate each other,” said Tanisha Smith with Black San Diego.
“We have a wild west cheeseburger! It’s cheat day over here! Come eat with us!” said Rodney Rich with We Cookin.
From tasty treats to unique finds, there was something for everyone.
“My bonnets have a flat band compared to most that have a scrunch band and doesn’t leave an imprint on your head! And they are cute!” said Ashley Hill, CEO of Crown Bonnets.
“It’s important to get our community together and to create economics to make it grow and make it thrive; not just residents but successful businesses too,” said Walker.
