About Tha Block!

The original Black Owned Business Block Party is back for Volume Seven! More businesses, more music, more food, more entertainment, more activities!

 

The Black Owned Business Block Party was first created in 2016. Developed as an affordable platform for Black Business Owners to connect with consumers interested in strengthening the Black dollar while cultivating a family-friendly, authentic, and unapologetically Afrocentric community environment. Effectively the original festival for Black Owned Businesses impacting and celebrating Black Futures.

Special Features

Tha Block Party Vol. 8 would like to give a huge shout-out our newest 24K Tier Sponsor, Beyond Basic Hair Studio and Cassandra Master BarberStylist!!! 
“Cassandra is an innovator in the hair industry. Known for her unique and innovative hairstyles and sharp haircuts that catches people’s attention. She comes from a humbling background where her love for hair started when her mother could not afford to take Cassandra and her two sisters and two brothers to the barbershop and hair salon. Cassandra at the age of 13 years old, decided to take matters into her own hands. She taught herself how to cut and design hair to help her brothers and sisters feel and look better. Now, she teaches others to embrace their talents and gifts. Cassandra overcame bullying and feeling like an outcast and wasn’t comfortable in her own skin. Now she helps people to embrace their true identity and loving themselves. With a big heart and a driven purpose to spread self-love and helping people find their true identity through hair, she is not planning to slow down anytime soon. She is certified with the board, she is certified with her community, and she is definitely certified among other hair stylists.” 
Not only is Beyond Basic a 24K Sponsor for this year’s event, but as a result of our partnership, Cassandra Master BarberStylist will be offering free community haircuts on site during the event!!
