⚡ First, What Is BlackWallStreets.store?

BlackWallStreets.store (BWS) is a mission-driven, Amazon-style multivendor marketplace reserved for businesses that are at least 51 % Black-owned.
Our goals are simple—yet revolutionary:

  • Circulate wealth inside the Black community by giving shoppers one trusted hub to “buy Black first.”

  • Empower 200 founding vendors with lifetime, grandfathered-in commissions and built-in marketing muscle.

  • Reinvest profits into scholarships, micro-grants, and emergency relief via the BWS Bank fund.

  • Show the world that inclusion, innovation, and ownership can (and should) go hand-in-hand.

Founded by Sterling Reed—a paraplegic tech trailblazer who turned adversity into innovation—BWS is the digital “main street” where Black entrepreneurs rise, shine, and succeed together.

💎 Meet the History-Maker: Ms. Brittany Washington of My Beautiful Fluff

When our virtual vault door swung open at exactly 6 PM EST on May 15, 2025, one shimmering digital key clicked into place—and out popped the name Brittany Washington, founder of MyBeautifulFluff.com in Davenport, IA.

“I am beyond grateful! I never expected this, and it came at such a crucial time for my business—it’s truly a blessing.” — Brittany Washington

What Is My Beautiful Fluff?

A body-positive lifestyle brand celebrating plus-size women and natural-haired queens everywhere. From extended-size apparel and fluffy makeup brushes to empowering journals and a best-selling coloring book, Brittany’s mission is clear: self-love, confidence, and radical inclusion.

💰 Why This $5,000 Grant Matters

Brittany plans to:

  1. Host a teen/tween focus group for her next body-positive coloring book.

  2. Hire a Black artist to illustrate and professionally publish it.

  3. Invest in summer pop-up events that amplify representation and self-worth.

True to her brand’s heart, she also donated $100 back to the BWS Bank—fueling scholarships, new-business grants, and emergency relief for other Black founders. Fluff with substance!

🤔 “Too Good to Be True”? Think Again.

We know: internet contests can feel sketchy. Some doubters said we were fluffier than Brittany’s makeup brushes. But Brittany—and hundreds of vision-driven founders—trusted the process:

  • 5–10 minutes to register.

  • Premium upgrade = 2 extra keys.

  • Key #3 turned the lock for Brittany.

Lesson: Sometimes skepticism slams doors that faith flings wide open.

🙌 Shout-Outs to the Dream Team

  • Sterling Reed — Founder & Chief Visionary.

  • Krystle Martin — Business Manager who marketed this launch like a boss.

  • Diamond Reed — Social Media Strategist keeping our feeds fire.

  • Anonymous Angel Donor — fronted the prize money because impact > spotlight.
