Impact Report: Black Future Market at Kalahari
After every Black Makers Market, we survey our vendors to understand what actually happened—not just during the event, but because of it.
We track:
• Revenue ranges
• Number of new customers
• New vendor participation
• Challenges at each venue
And we use that data to make real decisions—where we activate, who we partner with, and how we better support our Makers.
