This isn’t just a bus ride. It’s a community movement on wheels. A full-day celebration of shopping at Black Businesses, heritage, and economic power.One Bus. One Mission. One Unforgettable Day.
This tour will also celebrate the legacy of women who built the foundation we stand on. We honor trailblazers like Madam C. J. Walker, who proved what Black entrepreneurship can look like at its best. We salute Rosa Parks, whose courage changed a nation. We lift the spirit of Shirley Chisholm, the first Black woman to run for president. We carry the fire of Coretta Scott King, Mary McLeod Bethune, Betty Shabazz, Hatti Mae Daniels, and so many more who fought, taught, served, and stood tall so we could rise even higher.
Their stories remind us why circulating our dollars, supporting our businesses, and uplifting our community matters now more than ever.
👯🏾♀️ Bring Your Squad:
Girlfriends, sorors, church family, college crew, coworkers — anybody who loves to shop, support, and show up for Black History Month with purpose.
