We recently announced Alethia Tanner Day, a celebration that commemorates the life and legacy of Alethia Tanner, a formerly enslaved woman who purchased her freedom and the freedom of others by selling produce from a stand just a few miles away at Lafayette Park.
As a tribute to Tanner, we... are partnering with @neighborsdc to curate a pop-up market featuring a lineup of Black female makers and vendors. Neighbors DC is a Black-owned, woman-owned business that creates space for other makers and vendors through various pop-up opportunities and makers collectives.
On this #Juneteenth and in the coming weeks, we will be sharing stories and highlighting the businesses of the Black female entrepreneurs who will be participating in the Alethia Tanner Day pop-up market. Link in bio to learn more.
From baked goods to fresh berries, our NoMa Farmers Market at Alethia Tanner Park has everything you need! Stop by on Thursdays through September from 3-7PM.
