Black business owners celebrate Juneteenth with pop-up event in Roseland

Racquel J. Bradley, center, talks with friends while setting up her vendor space with merchandise during a pop-up shop event at a rental space in the 600 block of East 103rd Street, June 18, 2022.

“We’ve always spent our money outside of our community and we need to start spending more money inside ,” she said. “The things that we are spending our money on we can make. We have talented people.”Bradley’s business offers a wide range of services, from selling food to planning events and themed parties and travel planning.

Bradley also said it’s important for Black families to build generational wealth and for business owners to show and teach their kids that they can own their own business someday. After she saw how the beads helped her feel more confident while on a weight loss journey, she decided to start selling them to help other women feel that same confidence, she said.

Sangoleye said a business pop-up is a great way to celebrate Juneteenth because it showcases Black culture.
