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.

I would like to express thanks to you for bailing me out of this particular problem. Right after researching through the the web and finding advice that were not helpful, I figured my entire life was well over. Living devoid of the answers to the issues you have solved through your review is a crucial case, and ones which could have in a negative way affected my career if I hadn’t discovered your site. Your know-how and kindness in maneuvering every part was crucial. I’m not sure what I would’ve done if I hadn’t come across such a step like this. I can also now look forward to my future. Thanks a lot very much for your high quality and result oriented help. I will not think twice to suggest your blog to anyone who ought to have counselling about this topic.

I have been surfing online greater than three hours nowadays, yet I by no means found any interesting article like yours. It is lovely price enough for me. In my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers made excellent content as you did, the net might be a lot more useful than ever before. “Oh, that way madness lies let me shun that.” by William Shakespeare.

I’ve tried creams and sprays for toenail fungus, but it always comes back.
If Appanail really works from the inside, I might finally have a
shot at getting rid of it for good.
