Grind AVL: Wear Your Support for Asheville’s Recovery and Resilience
The Black Wall Street AVL movement has always been about resilience, empowerment, and community revitalization. Now, as Asheville works to recover from the devastation left by Hurricane Helene, the Grind AVL shop is stepping up as a way for people to directly support the city’s recovery efforts and the revival of the Black business district. Black Wall Street AVL’s merch is more than clothing—it’s a powerful symbol of solidarity, recovery, and the community’s unwavering spirit. Every item sold contributes directly to programs that provide essential resources, relief, and rebuilding support to local entrepreneurs impacted by the storm. Each purchase from the Grind AVL shop not only supports personal style but also helps fund community-led initiatives, such as BWS’s business training sessions, youth programs, and networking events, all of which play a vital role in rebuilding Asheville’s BIPOC-owned businesses in the wake of the hurricane.
The Grind AVL shop offers a range of merch, with each piece designed to capture the resilience and resolve of the community. One standout is the “Still Grinding” tee, a powerful expression of the strength and perseverance driving Asheville’s recovery. Wearing this shirt is more than a fashion statement; it’s a show of support for a community that’s “still grinding” through adversity. Cozy hoodies in the collection provide warmth and comfort while representing the mission to rebuild together. Additionally, hats and accessories add a stylish touch to any outfit, making it easy to show solidarity and support for Asheville’s recovery efforts. For those seeking something unique, limited-edition pieces and collaborations with local artists capture the spirit of the Black Wall Street movement and serve as emblems of resilience and community pride during this critical time.
