One of the organizers Tiffon Moore said some of those topics are finances, African-American history and more. Moore said the celebration was important for a number of reasons.

“We’re here to celebrate our black businesses, black entrepreneurship. We’re here to speak to be unified to spread love. I know we’re in the middle of a pandemic and we’re practicing our social distancing, but there is still a way for us to celebrate, get together, spread love and information,” said Moore.
