National Campaign To Host Local Event
H&M Americas, a multinational clothing-retail company for its fast-fashion clothing for men, women, teenagers, and children, has partnered with Buy From A Black Woman to host an event at its location in Woodland Hills Mall, 7021 S. Memorial Dr. The program will be held on July 14 from 12 p.m. – 6 p.m.
Buy From A Black Woman is a national campaign that has empowered, educated, and inspired Black women business owners and the people who support them, according to its website, https://www.buyfromablackwoman.org/.
H&M and BFABW are celebrating its fourth year of collaborating to advance Black women-owned businesses. The BFABW Inspire Tour is an annual multi-city pop-up shopping event that features products from Black women-owned businesses in H&M stores across the country.
The national-wide tour is “rallying communities to shop from local vendors and providing important networking opportunities for business owners,” said H&M. Tulsa is one of six cities for the tour.
Other cities include New Orleans, La.; Toronto, Ontario; Chicago; Washington, D. C.; and Macon, Ga.
Jennifer Brown, managing empowerment director of PWEN (Phenomenal Women Empowerment Network) and author of “Manifesting Your Best Life – A 90 Day Manifesting Journal,” contacted the organizers of the partnership and invited them to Tulsa.
“I didn’t think it would happen as quickly as it did, but here we are,” said Brown.
Local vendors to be featured are LAMIK Beauty and Mamie L Pack Media.
