The New York Women’s Chamber of Commerce, President Queina A. Abreu, who were instrumental on putting this event together on December 8^th 2021, at The Grand Slam Banquet Hall, uptown New York.

Close to 50 vendors were exhibiting and trying to make sales during the holiday season. Many of the small business owners we spoke with had mentioned to us, told us since the Pandemic they have struggled and did not make sales and were struggling in a very big way, some told us that they were making online sales but were feeling the pinch.

So this shopping event was a perfect idea, where many of the Woman Business owners, can exhibit their products and services and make immediate sales during the Christmas holidays. It worked close to 100 shoppers were in attendance who were looking to purchase different products on display from many vendors, there were fashion items, jewelry, cosmetics, food items of all kinds, books, shoes and many more items.

There was food and specialty cocktails for you to enjoy while you shopped, the event for shoppers was free of no-charge, but you had to register in advance and follow the CDC Guidelines when you attended the event.

The Following Women Business owners were honored with the Resilient Woman in Business Awards:

Belkys Lora, and Miriam Lora, Co-Owners of Grand Slam Banquet hall, Eveita Petty, Founder of Harlem’s Heaven Hats and   Mildia Francisco Owner Vagy Rejuvenation.
