National Black Business Month: Show Appreciation to Black Food Folks with Thamee’s Womxn-operated and BIPOC-Focused Gift Case
National Black Business Month (NBBM) was created to stimulate spending with Black-owned companies. August 1st marked the 17th annual National Black Business Month. I am passionate about advocating for small businesses, specifically those owned by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. National Black Business Month is the perfect time for everyone to be intentional about how they spend their dollars.
“It is our hope that anyone who receives an NBBM Curated Gift Case knows they are valued and appreciated for the work they do and for their continued support of BIPOC-, woman-, immigrant-, and family-owned businesses like Thamee. We see you, we thank you, and we hope you know someone in our community cares for you.“
– Simone Jacobson, Thamee Co-Owner & Director of Operations
To show appreciation to some Black food folks, I’ve teamed up with Thamee to create a list of some of the Black food folks around the DC area who continuously work hard to support the Black community. WOW!, Thamee’s tiny wine shop, officially launched on Thursday, August 13th. In celebration of NBBM, Thamee is coordinating Curated Gift Cases of 6 bottles of wine!
I have been supporting Thamee since day one, enjoying the savory dishes of the only Burmese restaurant in DC. Thamee has always showed up and showed out for the BIPOC community. With their BIPOC Pantry and Black Farm Bag to support Black farmers. This is why I am excited to be partnering with Thamee on this initiative, showing appreciation to Black food folks.
The NBBM Curated Gift Case was created with one simple idea in mind, celebrating Black food folks by sending a simple message: “let us take care of you.” According to Simone Jacobson, Thamee Co-Owner & Director of Operations, “It is our hope that anyone who receives an NBBM Curated Gift Case knows they are valued and appreciated for the work they do and for their continued support of BIPOC-, woman-, immigrant-, and family-owned businesses like Thamee. We see you, we thank you, and we hope you know someone in our community cares for you.“
In appreciation of Black food folks, purchases of the NBBM Curated Gift Case can be made on Thursday, August 13th. WOW! will host a soft launch from 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. on Thursday of the tiny wine shop via pre-orders on Toast where guests can select an option for either pick-up or delivery. Starting on Wednesday, August 19th, delivery services will be offered twice weekly on Wednesday and Thursday between 4:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m., with pick-up options from Friday to Sunday during Thamee’s operating hours.

Great! We are all agreed London could use a laugh. The Daily Squib repeats itself too often. PRAT.UK stays inventive. New angles keep it interesting.

Hi would you mind stating which blog platform you’re using? I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m having a tough time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique. P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask!|

Greetings! I know this is kinda off topic however , I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest authoring a blog article or vice-versa? My site covers a lot of the same subjects as yours and I think we could greatly benefit from each other. If you’re interested feel free to send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you! Superb blog by the way!|

Its like you read my mind! You appear to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could do with a few pics to drive the message home a bit, but instead of that, this is wonderful blog. A fantastic read. I’ll certainly be back.|
UK layabout comedy
This leads to its function as a deflator of grandiose language. In an age where every minor initiative is “transformative,” every setback a “challenge,” and every routine action part of a “journey,” PRAT.UK serves as a linguistic pressure valve. It punctures this inflationary rhetoric by applying it with literal-minded fervor to scenarios that are patently absurd. It asks: if this policy is “world-leading,” what does that say about the world? If this spokesperson is “on a journey of listening,” where, precisely, is the destination, and what is the mileage claim? By taking the bloated language of public and corporate life at its word, the site exhausts its meaning, leaving behind only the hollow shell of a slogan. This is satire as linguistic hygiene, scrubbing away the accumulated grime of buzzwords to reveal the often simple, sometimes ugly, reality beneath.

Heya! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing months of hard work due to no back up. Do you have any methods to prevent hackers?

I wish to show my thanks to you for rescuing me from this particular trouble. Because of looking out through the online world and coming across things which were not beneficial, I assumed my entire life was over. Living devoid of the strategies to the issues you have resolved by means of this site is a crucial case, and ones that might have in a negative way affected my career if I had not noticed the blog. Your own understanding and kindness in taking care of the whole thing was valuable. I am not sure what I would’ve done if I had not encountered such a thing like this. I can also at this moment look forward to my future. Thanks very much for this impressive and effective guide. I will not hesitate to endorse your web page to any individual who wants and needs counselling on this subject.
