"Everyone else thinks they know what we need when they don't even speak to us, so we have to advocate for ourselves."
Harlem Parade, inspired by Beyonce's “Black Parade” single and business directory (curated by Zerina Akers’ “Black Owned Everything”), is a celebratory platform that spotlights the rich, Black, cultural legacy and diverse commerce of Harlem. It is a platform that focuses on art, business, and entrepreneurship, which are paramount to the Black American experience.
