To celebrate Women’s History Month and Black-owned businesses, the non-profit Foodwise teamed up with the Port of San Francisco and other partners to host the pop-up event “Celebrating Black Women Makers” at the Embarcadero Ferry Terminal Plaza on Saturday.
14 small businesses took part, mostly offering food and drink. A few vendors also offered other goods, like candles or skin care products.
The entrepreneurs offered their specialties from tents sent up near the ferry building.
Tina Stevens, the owner of a baked goods business called A Girl Named Pinky, said events like this are important.
“It means we get more exposure from people who don’t normally know we exist,”
