EKC 2026 Small Business Crawl: Mind, Body, Business
About this Event
Come exhale with us.
On Saturday, November 28, East Kings County Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. opens the doors on our award winning Self-Care Marketplace, the heart of this year's Small Business Crawl: Mind, Body, Business.
Mind, body, business. Three things that hold each other up.
Picture a room that smells like warm wax and citrus and something steeping. Soft light, easy music, and tables lined with the work of Black wellness entrepreneurs who have poured themselves into every jar, every blend, every stitch. Whipped body butters and bars of soap cut by hand. Candles and incense. Skincare formulated with real care for real skin. Tea worth slowing down for. Pieces made to be worn and loved.
Behind every one of those tables is a founder. Someone who built this in a kitchen, a spare room, a studio, on weekends and at midnight, while still showing up for everybody else. The Marketplace is where you get to meet them, hear the story in their own voice, and put your dollars straight into their hands.
And while you are supporting them, let them take care of you. That is the whole point of this day. You have spent this season giving. Come spend an afternoon receiving.
Bring your people, and why it matters
Bring your mother, your girlfriends, your sister, your partner, your babies. This is a family friendly afternoon.
Admission is free. There is no ticket price and no fee at the door, and every dollar you spend inside goes directly into the hands of the business you spend it with. Nothing is taken out, nothing is held back. Your holiday shopping becomes somebody's best Saturday of the year.
This is what economic development looks like when it is done with love. Come care for yourself, and let that care land somewhere it will do some good.
A note on parking: Street parking is available but competitive, so please plan travel accordingly.
