CHERRY HILL — More than 100 entrepreneurs, creators, and community members are expected to gather at Cherry Hill High School West on Saturday, April 4, for the Black and Minority Small Business Expo, an event designed to spotlight South Jersey’s diverse business talent and strengthen economic opportunity across the region.
The expo is presented by the South Jersey Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., in partnership with the Cherry Hill West and East African American Culture Clubs.
Running from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., the expo will transform the school’s campus into a vibrant marketplace featuring Black? and minority?owned businesses from across South Jersey. Vendors will showcase everything from handmade goods and fashion to professional services, wellness products, and culturally inspired items.
Organizers say the goal is not only to promote local entrepreneurs but also to create a welcoming space where community members can connect, learn, and support one another.
A Celebration of Culture, Commerce, and Community
The expo emphasizes cultural diversity and inclusion, offering attendees a chance to experience the richness of South Jersey’s multicultural business landscape. According to event organizers, the day will highlight:
• Cultural enrichment, with opportunities to engage with businesses rooted in African American, Afro?Caribbean, Latino, and other minority traditions.
• Networking and mentorship, connecting new and established entrepreneurs with potential partners, customers, and supporters.
• Economic empowerment, encouraging attendees to invest in local businesses that often face systemic barriers to visibility and growth.
Delta Sigma Theta’s South Jersey Alumnae Chapter has long championed economic development and community uplift, and the expo reflects the sorority’s mission to empower underserved communities through education, advocacy, and service.
A Platform for Emerging and Established Entrepreneurs
Vendor participation includes small business owners, food truck operators, artisans, and service providers. Registration fees help support the event’s mission and include table space and seating for participating businesses.
For many entrepreneurs, especially those still recovering from pandemic?era challenges, the expo provides a valuable platform to gain exposure, build customer relationships, and join a supportive network of peers.
Strengthening South Jersey’s Economic Fabric
Community leaders say events like the Black and Minority Small Business Expo play a vital role in strengthening South Jersey’s economic ecosystem. By intentionally uplifting minority?owned businesses, the expo helps address long?standing disparities while celebrating innovation and creativity.
The event is open to the public, and organizers encourage residents from across the region to attend, shop, and show their support.
