This Black August, we're pushing beyond hashtags and into real action. Black With No Chaser, Mississippi MOVE, and MS Black Pages are proud to launch:
Mississippi Black Business Buy In Week
🗓️ August 26–31, 2025📍 All across Mississippi
What Is the Black Business Buy In?
It’s simple: we’re showing up in force to Black-owned businesses across Mississippi—bringing our friends, our wallets, and our commitment.
This week, we’re asking YOU to:
✔️ Pull up to a Black-owned business with 7 or more people
✔️ Buy something. Share something. Show some love.
✔️ Help that business SELL OUT.
From barbershops to bookstores, boutiques to bakeries—this is how we BUY IN to build stronger Black economies.
This Is Bigger Than a Transaction
This is a movement rooted in love, legacy, and liberation.
When we buy in, we’re saying:
Black businesses deserve foot traffic, not just “likes”
Black entrepreneurs deserve equity, not just exposure
Black Mississippi deserves investment, not just inspiration
Let’s make it a Black August to remember with Mississippi Black Business Buy In Week!

🚨 Thank A Business Thursday
"Thank A Business Thursday" is not a singular event but rather a concept for regularly expressing gratitude towards businesses and their customers or employees. It involves making a conscious effort to thank a business for its products, services, support, or employee efforts, which can foster positive relationships and build community, especially for small businesses.
