This past weekend, Pearis Bellamy hosted her Black College Business Women Connection event. Pearis created the event because she wanted to create a space where people could, “come together and connect.” “As women sometimes we can see each other as competition, but we are so much stronger together,” said Pearis. The event was a business warming party where everyone had the chance to interact with and learn more about each business. The BCBW concluded with a pitch contest and below are the businesses that participated in it.
