Black Business Month: Philadelphia's Blk Ivy Thrift uses vintage, thrift to tell story of civil rightsAs National Black Business Month comes to an end, Action News is profiling a local entrepreneur who is combining her love for vintage fashion with her passion for activism.
The business sells what could be considered pieces of history, like a decades-old two-piece ladies travel outfit that McGlonn showed off as she gave a tour of the store. But for McGlonn, vintage clothing is about so much more than style.It's why she is very intentional about what's on the rack Blk Ivy, which features clothing for men and women, accessories, and items for the home.
"The time between Brown vs. the Board of Education and when Shirley Chislom runs for president as the first Black female candidate," said McGlonn. "In a city that is 43% Black and where less than 3% of businesses are owned by Black folks," said McGlonn."Black-owned businesses need us to pull up over and over again," said McGlonn of the need for continued support by the community.
