jamaal talks

Jamaal Talks is a speaker series designed to empower the local Black community with the knowledge, resources, and tools to live healthy and whole lives. 

Jamaal Talks is a vehicle to improve our market-goers’ spiritual, physical, and emotional health, with the hope that they take the information provided to the greater communities.

If you are interested in becoming a Jamaal Talks speaker, please contact Haillee Mason by clicking the button below. To stay up to date on the Jamaal Talks schedule, follow us on social media.

“When learning about the Black Farmers’ Market, I was excited to have a space where I could purchase products from Black owned businesses. I love coming into a space where I feel like I belong. It just feels like shopping with family every two weeks. And with COVID having us physically distancing ourselves, I’m glad that they have figured out a way to create community through markets.”

– Phoebe G.
