“We’re proud to feature these four businesses during Black History Month and throughout the entire year,” said Angela Val, president and CEO of Visit Philadelphia in a statement.
“The Legacy & Love series is a heartfelt recognition of the impact these entrepreneurs and their families have made in our city’s history. Visitors looking for authentic experiences often find themselves in our vibrant neighborhoods, where small businesses play a crucial role in shaping that experience. Through this series, we hope to not only increase foot traffic to these businesses but also to inspire both visitors and residents with their stories of innovation and resilience.”
As a release notes, “Legacy & Love” is part of Visit Philadelphia’s “In Pursuit of A More Perfect Union” series, which showcases the city as a welcoming and inclusive destination while reexamining the evolving values of America’s founding vision. It’s also the beginning of an ongoing commitment to highlight and celebrate Black entrepreneurship in Philadelphia. Visit Philadelphia will continue to expand the series by featuring additional businesses throughout the year as well.
“The Legacy & Love series is a powerful reminder of how entrepreneurship is woven into Philadelphia’s cultural fabric,” added Daniel Davis, director of diverse marketing at Visit Philadelphia. “We’re excited to use our platform to highlight these small business owners, sharing their stories and life’s work with millions of potential new customers through our social media channels and paid advertising efforts.”
