SHOP BLACK ALL NOVEMBER

This November, we’re turning intentional support into powerful impact. Let's rally behind Black-owned businesses all month long!


Whether it's a local gem, a tasty spot, a nonprofit doing big things, or a talented online creator — if it’s Black-owned, we’re showing up and showing out. 


Need help getting started? Check out the link we’ve included for a list of local Black-owned businesses. If you know of one we missed, share it using the hashtag #BACSHOPBLACK 


Let’s invest in our culture, uplift our communities, and circulate our dollars where they matter most.

National economic trends, such as unstable employment, the threat to Social Security as we know it, and the widening gap between wealth and poverty are the basis for the development of Financial Fortitude, the current Economic Development program initiative of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated. Financial Fortitude is a process that will help program participants to set and define goals, develop a plan to achieve them, and to put the plan into action. The process serves as a blueprint to address all aspects of personal finances.
