AKA Sorority to host Black Dollar Days vendors

The event will highlight the sorority’s “Black Dollar Days,” an annual initiative to promote minority- and Black-owned businesses and support economic growth.

Each June, the sorority encourages consumers to buy goods and services from entrepreneurs in the areas of health and beauty, food and beverages, financial and professional services, fashion, accessories, and home decor.

The national sorority has set a goal to spend $8 million with Black- and minority-owned businesses this month. In Charlotte, the pop-up event will be hosted by the sorority’s Rho Psi Omega Chapter and the Queen City Ivy and Pearls Foundation.

“The Pop-Up shop event will provide an opportunity for vendors to engage with the public, showcase their goods and services and increase their e-commerce audience,” the sorority’s local chapter said in a statement.
