Shop with Purpose. Support Black-Owned Businesses. Strengthen Our Community.

The Power of the Purse Holiday Market is back and bigger than ever!

Hosted by the Washington DC Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. in conjunction with the Washington, D.C. Alumnae Foundation, Inc. this annual event celebrates Black entrepreneurship, economic empowerment, and the power of shopping with purpose.

After welcoming nearly 350 shoppers and 69 vendors in our inaugural year, we're excited to bring together even more incredible Black-owned businesses for an unforgettable holiday shopping experience!

Discover unique gifts, fashion, beauty, accessories, home goods, and more all while supporting entrepreneurs and keeping dollars circulating in our community.

Bring your friends, family, and shopping bags! Every purchase has power, and where you spend your dollars matters.
