Juneteenth: Building Black Wealth
On Juneteenth 2021, the Building Black Wealth Experience powered by Safeway will be held at The Collective Seattle.
This unique, immersive experience will create an opportunity for people to celebrate and participate in this holiday. Over cocktails, delicious foods and networking, attendees will be exposed to relevant Black-owned businesses, entrepreneurs and the community programs currently serving them. All proceeds from the event will benefit Urban Impact. The event features the following: • Marketplace with innovative products from ten local Black-owned businesses. • Panel Discussion featuring community business leaders: Doug Baldwin (Entrepreneur & former Seattle Seahawk) Lewis Rudd (Ezells Chicken), and Keisha Credit (Entrepreneur recently featured in Forbes Magazine). • Food will be catered by Black-owned restaurant Communion. • Event Program centered on spotlighting the work that Urban Impact and Building Black Wealth are doing. • Live performance by Draze, performing new music from his soon to be released album titled "African American." In addition to the live in-person gathering, this Building Black Wealth Experience will be live-streamed by Converge Media as a virtual event, with the opportunity to donate to Urban Impact online.
