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.

Keep up the good piece of work, I read few content on this web site and I think that your web blog is rattling interesting and has got lots of excellent info .

Most of whatever you mention happens to be supprisingly legitimate and it makes me ponder the reason why I hadn’t looked at this in this light previously. This piece truly did switch the light on for me personally as far as this specific subject matter goes. Nevertheless there is actually 1 issue I am not too comfortable with and whilst I try to reconcile that with the main theme of your issue, let me see what the rest of your visitors have to point out.Nicely done.

Prostadine
Prostadine has been getting a lot of positive attention lately,
especially for men looking to support prostate
and urinary health naturally. I like that it uses a blend of plant-based
ingredients instead of harsh chemicals, which makes it a gentler option. If it really helps with
reducing frequent bathroom trips and improving overall prostate
function, Prostadine could be a solid choice
for long-term wellness.

The heart of your writing whilst sounding agreeable originally, did not sit properly with me personally after some time. Someplace within the sentences you managed to make me a believer unfortunately only for a very short while. I still have got a problem with your jumps in logic and you would do nicely to fill in those breaks. In the event you can accomplish that, I will undoubtedly end up being impressed.
