The kick off is today, Thursday at 3pm at Hawthorn Crossings, 906 West Broadway Ave right here in N. Mpls
We are going to be there Thursday through Tuesday 3pm-8pm on the weekdays and 10am-5pm on the weekends.
A ton of things planned for this 6-day series.
Today and tomorrow we have free chair massages with one of our Black Businesses along West Broadway (Madresha Harris of Healing Mood Massage from inside of ZaRah).
We’ve also got BakeShow Baker DJing all 6 days and as usual thank you KMOJ for your partnership in making sure we get the word out to the community.
BBW is about celebrating our community, our culture and our businesses and more specifically lifting up Black Businesses from across the Twin Cities. We have over 20 black businesses registered to participate including some of the community favorites below:
• Virginia's All Purpose Seasoning
• LatherWithLove
• Ccaldwell Fine Arts
• Inner Peace Fragrance
• Liberate Your Bookshelf
& Plenty of Others
In addition, we have a number of workshops and activities planned throughout the duration of the 6-Days.
Fun fact - On Saturday we are partnering with the Northside Roaring Lions and a number of others for a Pumpkin Giveaway where they will be giving away Pumpkins in the parking lot, a game truck, pumpkin carving, some amazing food options included The Kitchen by Baked Brand and others.
What is KMOJCast?
Select programming from KMOJ's airwaves and community voices. Since first going “on the air” in 1976, KMOJ-89.9-FM continues its legacy as the community-oriented station located in Minneapolis, Minnesota airing a predominantly urban adult contemporary format.
“KMOJ’s Community Viewpoint” is one way the station achieves its mission of engaging, supporting and empowering Communities of Color to elevate the way of life of the people of its community and to challenge social and economic disparities, and the persistent consequences of historic racism.
The station call letters, “KMOJ” were inspired by the Swahili word “UMOJA” which means “Unity.” http://kmojfm.com/
