Why THE

Waldorf Culture Center Finding a Black-owned event space large enough to accommodate the BOSB Expo was a top priority of ours. Partnering with the Waldorf Culture Center to host the BOSB Expo exemplifies our steadfast determination to support Black owned business at all levels.

The Waldorf Culture Center has been the home of the Black Owned Small Business [BOSB] Expo since its inception. This establishment, just like the dynamic businesses showcased at the BOSB Expo, is owned and managed by Alecia Smith, an African American entrepreneur. By day, this facility serves as a performing arts hub to children and young adults, providing a place for them to build their crafts. The Waldorf Culture Center is a place where talents are nurtured, businesses can thrive, and a safe haven for our community can gather to celebrate each other.

We are proud to say that 100% of the funding generated and dispelled benefit a Black owned business! Supporting Black owned businesses has to be a thoughtful choice. It is up to us to build businesses organizations, and everything in between, to provide for and encourage the generation coming after us. The responsibility lies solely on us to

CHANGE THE WAY WE DO BUSINESS!
