Amplify POC Cape Cod's VIRTUAL Annual Meeting. We share our accomplishments this past year, acknowledge our collaborators and sponsors, and we see Amplify having an impact next year!

HYANNIS — In the aftermath of George Floyd's murder in 2020, which ignited worldwide protests, Tara Vargas-Wallace found herself getting calls from people across the Cape.

The holidays are here and many Cape Codders are looking for ways to buy gifts that support not only the small business economy but also communities of color.

If you're looking for black-owned businesses to support on Cape Cod, you can now locate them through Amplify POC Cape Cod, a grassroots economic sustainability initiative founded by Tara Vargas Wallace to enhance the visibility of businesses owned by people of color on Cape Cod. Emily Tullock reports.

HYANNIS — Honoring the National Black Business Month, Amplify POC (People of Color), a nonprofit organization, is scheduled to launch its first annual Summer Vendor Market this weekend.
