REOPENING SOON

This coming week, New York City is preparing for the opening of selected businesses like ours. And our decision as a business is to wait a month as we are cautious and clear about the realities:

- 8 million people have been home and more than half of them have not been tested
- 8 million people have been in place and need to get back to work and daily life yet we noticed that half of them are not wearing masks during their walks outside

The city requires masks to be worn and our business is in agreement with this policy. We will require and expect everyone who comes into our locations to WEAR A MASK. Life is vital and we value it even more. So, we will take our time to reopen in a way that honors our spirit, our customers and our staff.

BLACK LIVES MATTER. 
We are a black business doing what we love in 3 locations. If you support and believe in black people and business, then, do what you can in a small way, in a super big way and as a business, and support us simply by buying online and with your friends we are dropshipping from our vendors.

BLACK BUSINESSES 
Locally in Bed-Stuy, Harlem and Crown Heights, there are Black-owned businesses like us, please participate by going there to shop and eat at these businesses.

All of us have been closed during the pandemic, our existence, growth and recovery is key to neighborhoods, fulfilling the spirit of enterpreneurship and the narrative of the Civil rights of a better future. We need your help

So, simply shop with us at CALABAR IMPORTS and buy Art today at CALABARGALLERY.

BOYCOTT THE NFL
The uprisings and protests are things we deeply support as well as the boycott of the NFL. Colin Kaepernick kneeled peacefully protesting police brutality and his career was destroyed.  This is institutional racism and like many of our customers, we stopped watching NFL games that day and ask you to support our boycott of this organization here: BOYCOTT THE NFL 

Again, we will remain closed and will possibly reopen in stages, one location at a time, and later than most businesses in New York.

In this newsletter, we have 5 things to talk about (it's a repeat, intentional to focus on planning our reopening):

1. Home Decor Options
2. Father's Day Items
3. Art Available
4. Advertising with us
5. The Wellness Pivot
1. HOME DECOR OPTIONS

HOME DECOR: MIRRORS.

We are inspired by Kenya and beading from the Masaai people. We added some mirrors to our website athttps://www.calabar-imports.com/collections/home-decor
2. FATHER'S DAY ITEMS 

We decided to source just for Father's Day in an order of African Print Bowties and other sets for men, check them out at: https://www.calabar-imports.com/collections/mens
3. ART AVAILABLE

At Calabar Gallery, we have shown the work of IBOU NDOYE. This summer, we have some of his paper works available for sale. Please contact us at info@calabargallery.com if you are interested in buying a piece.
4. ADVERTISE WITH US

This newsletter goes to 10,500 people and several people requested that we open it up to about 2 to 3 advertisers every week. If you are interested, please email at info@calabargallery.com.
5. THE WELLNESS PIVOT

Time during this pandemic was productive because of food choices: immune boosting, health focuses and returning to exercising. As a result, we joined the development of a new show:

The Wellness Pivot
: Food, Health and Fitness Show explores mind, body, and spirit as a process of natural healthy living focused on food, exercise and health ways for a more holistic lifestyle.
