The For the Culture Market (4TCM) celebrates Black History Month by showcasing local Black entrepreneurs, artists, musicians, and storytellers. Now in its fourth year, the event highlights the excellence and innovation of the Black community in the Brazos Valley—honoring the past, celebrating the present, and investing in the future.
Through partnerships with Operation HOPE, the City of College Station, and the Chamber of Commerce,
REACH has supported the launch of more than 90 Black-owned businesses in just two years. 4TCM continues that momentum by providing visibility, community support, and meaningful economic opportunity for emerging entrepreneurs.
This celebration would not be possible without the incredible efforts of students from Texas A&M University
(TAMU), Bryan ISD, College Station ISD, and our own REACH Fellows.
These students play a vital role in ensuring the event runs smoothly—supporting entrepreneurs, hosting
youth vendors, running logistics, and helping shape the future of the Entrepreneurship Program. Through this
hands-on experience, students and entrepreneurs from diverse backgrounds work together to:
This unique partnership strengthens community ties, fosters belonging, and builds true intergenerational leadership.
To create a space that honors and celebrates the diversity, resilience, and creativity of the Black community— fostering unity and empowerment through entrepreneurship, culture, and art.
To inspire future generations, amplify local voices, and contribute to the ongoing narrative of Black excellence in the Brazos Valley.
As we prepare for the fourth annual For the Culture Market, our vision is to elevate this celebration into the largest and most impactful Black History Month event in the region— uplifting our culture and strengthening the ecosystem of Black business in our community.
