May BAOBOB reflections
A word from YaVette here at BAOBOB! #baobobdirectory #reflections #allaboutthebusiness
Out here at the Ashby Flea Market that isn't... the management have closed it this weekend and possibly for months to come. Vendors are taking issue with the plan. so much to say but this brother captures it all... the Ashby Flea Market has been a Bay Area institution, especially for Black owned business, for nearly 40 years.

Dont sleep on the importance of b2b connection. Today's @lifeisliving vendors pre-event gathering was the time to share experience, collaborate and get clear. There's not much better than being prepared. A big shout out to all, but especially to our youth vendors, flexing. #inspired #collaboration #lifeisliving #oakland #westoakland
Another economic reality is possible -- one that values community, sustainability and resiliency instead of profit by any means necessary. Niki Okuk shares her case for cooperative economics and a vision for how working-class people can organize and own the businesses they work for, making decisions for themselves and enjoying the fruits of their labor.
Today's #BayAreaBlackFriday challenge BAOBOB highlights one of our local food cooperative
Mandela Foods Cooperative, get your grocery shopping on!

Still feeling lifted by the beautiful people – all y’all!! – that made Life Is Living 10 such an amazing day. We want to give a special shout out to the 60 #vendors who brought the marketplace to life, kept bellies full all afternoon, and did all that with early morning load in and litter free load out late in the day.
Salute to you and the commitment it took to maneuver with the date change and come out smiling. Thank you for your thoughtful notes and photos, keep ‘em coming!! The Youth Speaks, BAOBOB, CultivateEAD production trio is a testament to team work done well and we give thanks.
Giving thanks, too, for our peeps Keta Price, Sidney Cain, Dominique Dickerson, Lori Shepherd, Jourden Moore, Jonathan who came through so early, ready to help keep the vendor registration process smooth.

The Power of a strong Black Economy is cyclical!!!
BAOBOB will provide a visible platform/services for Black Businesses to continue to thrive/develop.
This in turn creates "Black Space" for the community to dwell which uplifts a high level of customer service and communal morale.
Over time a strong wealth system, an economy, a Black ecosystem will develop with the capacity to support, fund, advocate and give back to the Black community!
