August highlights 🤎✨

What a month for Black Core!

We had an incredible time hosting our very first Black Core Pop-Up at Ashford Designer Outlet ✨bringing together Black-owned businesses and community all under one roof. Seeing our vision come to life and receiving so much love and support was truly special.

Black Core is all about creating spaces where Black businesses can be seen, celebrated and supported, while giving our community opportunities to connect, discover and champion incredible brands.

And we’re only getting started… 👀

We’re now preparing for Black History Month this October, and we can’t wait to share what we have planned. 🤎

Thank you to every business that took part, everyone who came down to support, and everyone continuing to be part of the Black Core journey.
