We are excited to officially invite you to be a vendor at the upcoming Black Business Expo – Vendor Marketplace hosted in partnership with The Coco Drip, LLC, and Hayti Heritage Center. 

Due to a shared belief in the mission and impact of The Coco Drip in uplifting Black Women-Owned businesses, a generous sponsor has covered 70% of the vendor fee for this event.

This sponsorship not only supports your participation in the Black Business Expo Vendor Marketplace, but it also ensures you have the opportunity to engage in the educational components designed and hosted by the Hayti Heritage Center for business owners on Friday, August 7th. More information will be shared by the Hayti Heritage Center once available. 

We are intentional about creating spaces that not only showcase your business but also pour into your growth, development, and long-term success as an entrepreneur.
