In this episode we visit LA Stainless Kings to make a payment on our trailer! Also mentioned in this episode is the JLH Social Impact Fund, Fund Black Founders, and Crowdfund Better.

We received a grant from the JLH Social Impact Fund, created by Jrue & Lauren Holiday to support black entrepreneurs and change makers. What’s so special about JLH is that they truly set us up for success. Along with their generous financial contribution they also provided mentorship and support to 50 businesses and nonprofits through 2 incredible companies. https://www.jlhfund.org/

Fund Black Founders is a platform for black entrepreneurs to raise money for their business. Crowdfund Better is an organization that helps entrepreneurs prepare to raise money non-traditionally through crowdfunding. https://www.fundblackfounders.com/ https://www.crowdfundbetter.com/

In this episode we look back over our first year as Prosperity Market. We share our favorite moments, the challenges we’ve faced, the lessons learned, and what we are excited about for year two.

Prosperity Market is turning one and it’s hard to believe that we have been at this for one full year! What a wild ride! We went from binge watching Netflix on our couches for most of 2020, to all of the sudden running a mobile farmers market featuring black farmers and entrepreneurs, that pops up all over Los Angeles. 2021 was one big, real-time case study for us. We like to think of it as our Beta year. We documented much of our progress and we want to share our journey with you. 

Check out this video to learn a bit more about us and our mission. We are so excited about the work that we are doing and we thank you for watching and learning more!
