Join us on the BIPOC* Business walk and get the chance to personally meet the owners behind a few of downtown’s exciting new businesses. In this follow up to our Celebrating Inclusive Business Practices workshop, we’re bringing you directly to the businesses in person so you can touch, see, or taste the vibrancy their teams are bringing to our community. Take a stroll with us, learn more about why it’s so important to buy local, and get some treats and samples along the way! 

This event is part of an ongoing collaboration for the Community Belonging Series between the SLO Chamber's Businesses Supporting Business partners, the City of SLO Diversity Equity and Inclusion department, and Cal Poly's Office of University Diversity and Inclusion.
