For the third year, H&M has again partnered with Buy From a Black Woman to support Black woman-owned businesses.
“The Inspire Tour highlights Black women business owners who are finding, owning, and living out their ambitions. Their stories of triumph over adversity showcase the victories in their communities, which inspires both entrepreneurs and consumers who dare to want more to keep reaching for their dreams.” says Nikki Porcher, Founder of Buy From a Black Woman.
Coming off the heels of a successful two years of epic growth, H&M and Buy From a Black Woman are coming back even stronger for year three. The partnership aims to advance the non-profit’s mission of empowering, educating, and inspiring Black women business owners and the people who support them. Over the past year alone, Buy From A Black Woman has raised more than $2.7 million in revenue, while also growing their online community to over 200,000 allies.
“H&M is committed to using its platform to promote economic inclusion and spark growth for Black women entrepreneurs because when their businesses flourish, entire communities thrive,” said Donna Dozier Gordon, Head of Inclusion and Diversity for H&M Region Americas. “Nikki Porcher has been instrumental in elevating these incredible businesses, ensuring they are poised for long-term success and we are proud to stand with her and Buy From a Black Woman to make lasting change.”
This year the event will go on a multi-city, pop-up shopping event to five cities: Philadelphia, PA; Charlotte, NC; Houston, TX; Los Angeles, CA; and Atlanta, GA. The 2023 Inspire Tour kicks off in Philadelphia, PA on Saturday, July 1, 2023.
