Racial Justice Resources for The Wedding Industry

By

The inequality we are seeing is rooted in years of systemic racism and lack of education. And we must do better. We’ve put together anti-racism resources to help educate wedding businesses on what they can do to end racial injustice and discrimination in the wedding industry. 

We are committed to supporting and empowering business ownership and leadership among Black wedding pros as well as others who have historically been underrepresented in the wedding industry. 

As we continue discussing ways to commit to this intentional, sustainable change, we also want to use our platform to amplify the voices of Black wedding pros and celebrate their success so they receive the recognition they deserve within our industry. 

This list is not finished and we invite you to share thoughts and ideas on how we can help create this long term change. Please email us at hello@weddingpro.com to let us know other resources we should add so we can continue learning and listening together. 

Before we can make lasting changes within the wedding industry we need to get informed. Here is where we started:
