SCV Chamber Announces 3rd Annual Black Business Month Celebration


The Santa Clarita Valley Chamber of Commerce today announced its 3rd Annual Black Business Month Celebration, honoring the achievements and impact of Black entrepreneurs in the Santa Clarita Valley community.

Held during National Black Business Month, observed each August, this event recognizes the vital contributions of Black-owned businesses to the local and national economy. This year’s celebration will take place on Thursday, August 7, at 5:30 PM at the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts).

Attendees can look forward to an inspiring evening of celebration and connection, with opportunities to network, hear powerful stories, and engage with influential leaders from Santa Clarita’s Black business community.

“As the new Chair of the Black Business Council, I am honored to welcome everyone to our 3rd Annual Black Business Month Celebration,” said Tamara Pickering, Chair of the Black Business Council. “This event is a testament to the dedication, perseverance, and success of Black entrepreneurs and business leaders in our community. It’s an opportunity to come together, share stories, build connections, and foster an environment where Black-owned businesses continue to thrive.
