🖤💵 Black Dollar Days: Week 1 Recap & Week 2 Challenge 💵🖤
The first week of Black Dollar Days is officially in the books, and our Sorors are already making an impact!

Every meal purchased was an intentional investment in Black entrepreneurship and economic empowerment.
During Week 1, participating chapters logged a total of $9,688.92 in support of Black-owned food and beverage businesses!

Thank you to every Soror who chose to spend with purpose and help strengthen our communities one dollar at a time. Together, we're demonstrating the power of intentional spending and economic impact.
