30th Black Women's Expo
Black Girl Vitamins will be present as a sponsor, vendor, and panelist throughout the Black Women’s Expo from August 1-3rd! Since 1993, it has held an annual space for women in the Chicagoland area to feel seen, entertained, and empowered. This weekend-long expo will feature 75 stage performances, 50 renowned speakers, and 300 exhibitors to visit.
The BGV team is focused on showcasing a new, vibrant exhibitor booth and Calm Girl product. This is an Ashwagandha supplement formulated with Zinc and Vitamin D3 to give Black women both stress relief and a boost of nutrients that they are commonly deficient in! It is also Non-GMO, vegan, and halal to fit a variety of dietary needs within the community.
