Summer Walker relaunched her “Buy Black Women’s Sh-t” initiative to support some Black women-owned businesses in her hometown of Atlanta. The charitable effort coincided with the anniversary of her “Last Day Of Summer” mixtape, released in 2018.
As Walker celebrated the anniversary of her debut mixtape Sept. 22, she sought to do more than just honor her first project. On the official last day of summer, the singer also held a re-release of “Buy Black Women’s Sh*t.” The online marketplace encouraged fans to buy self-care products from Black women entrepreneurs in Atlanta.
From The Lash Vault and Atlanta Curves, these businesses offered products that catered to one’s holistic needs, as well as communal and beauty. The charitable arm of Walker’s Atlanta-based label, deemed LVRN Cares, helped promote the businesses spotlighted by the R&B songstress.
To help out the purchasing, fans received exclusive deals and discounts, as well as products to try out from the local businesses involved. A directory of the over 100 companies will be available on her website through the next year.
