GDW EVENT ALERT: ODUNDE TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS

By Gloria Dulan-Wilson

Hello All:

Okay, I'm rushing to get to a business meeting scheduled for this morning  - the first in a series of three in conjunction with the 43rd Annual Odunde Festival.



In case you thought it was only about the event that takes place here on Sunday with the street festival and entertainment, you need to be aware that there are opportunities for African Americans and Africans to begin and establish businesses and business relationships together.  So don't miss out.

Here is the schedule for the next three days culminating in Sunday's massive ceremony and street fair.  This officially ODUNDE 360  for 2018:


Business leaders from throughout the African Diaspora will be in Philadelphia June 7 to June 10 to participate in several events co-sponsored by Philadelphia City Councilwoman Jannie Blackwell, Pennsylvania State Senator Sharif Street, Congressman Dwight Evans, the Mayor’s Commission on African & Caribbean Immigrant Affairs, and the Global Interdependence Center.  A 2015 study found that Odunde has an estimated economic impact of between $25 million and $30 million on the city and the state, in terms of commerce between participants in Odunde and the local economy that generates millions in taxes during Odunde Week.




NOW THAT YOU KNOW
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?


STAY BLESSED  &
ECLECTICALLY BLACK

Gloria
