This collage captures the North Jersey Alumnae Chapter’s vibrant Small Business Saturday Expo, an event dedicated to uplifting local entrepreneurs in Essex, Hudson & Union counties and celebrating the power of community-based commerce. Held in partnership with small business owners, artisans, food vendors, and service providers, the expo creates a dynamic marketplace where attendees can shop, network, and discover Black-owned and local businesses. From handcrafted goods and specialty foods to creative services and emerging brands, the event highlights the talent and innovation thriving within the community.

Aligned with Delta Sigma Theta’s Economic Development thrust, the expo helps amplify visibility for small businesses while encouraging economic circulation within the community.
