Atlanta Flash Mob Rescues Black-Owned Business from Shutting Down

(Black PR Wire) The pandemic has severely impacted Black-owned businesses, with 41%  shutting down, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research. These businesses are  crucial to our communities, offering jobs and preserving culture. They need our support now  more than ever. 

Entrepreneur Nehemiah Davis is leading an initiative to support these businesses. Known for  his business expertise and online presence with 632K Instagram followers, Davis has organized  flash mobs to rescue struggling Black-owned enterprises. His latest focus is The Sistah Shop, a  Black women-owned retail destination in Atlanta’s Atlantic Station featuring over 100 Black  women-owned brands. 

Owner Aisha Taylor Issah was ready to close the doors. “Business was slow, and I prayed for a  miracle,” she said. 

Since opening in 2021, The Sistah Shop has provided a platform for over 500 Black women owned brands but is now in financial trouble, launching the #SavetheSistahShop campaign to  raise $50K for a sustainable future. 

Nehemiah Davis, David Shands, and Donni Wiggins from the Social Proof Podcast mobilized  their followers to flood The Sistah Shop with customers, turning Aisha’s worst day into her best  sales day. 

Joining Nehemiah in this powerful initiative were Demetrius Walker of Fortune & Solomon Consulting Group, RaShine "Pushman Mitch" Mitchell, and Ash Cash Exantus, all prominent figures in business, real estate, and financial education. Their combined reach of over a million  Instagram followers amplified the flash mob’s impact. 

Over 150 supporters gathered, buying up inventory and injecting crucial funds. “It was an  answered prayer,” Aisha said. 

Nehemiah Davis’s efforts have previously saved businesses in Philadelphia and Atlanta, and his  platform is making a significant difference.

“We’re here to ensure businesses thrive,” Davis stated.
