Honoring Black Wall Street: SRVB’s Path to Household Name

Honoring Black Wall Street: SRVB’s Path to Household Name

In the early 1900s, Tulsa’s Greenwood District—often called Black Wall Street—proved what happens when community meets commerce: creativity flourishes, jobs grow, and ownership builds generational momentum. That legacy drives us today.

Southern Roots Vegan Bakery exists to spread joy (and really good dessert) while building a brand our community can be proud of. We’re not hosting markets these days—we’re focused on scaling so SRVB becomes the name people reach for when they want feel-good sweets, gifts, and celebration cakes.

What the legacy teaches us

• Ownership matters. When customers choose Black-owned, they help create jobs and opportunity.
• Quality wins. Word of mouth still builds movements—one unforgettable bite at a time.
• Community fuels growth. Small contributions and big orders both move the mission.

Our scale-up plan (simple + focused)

• Gifting authority: Make SRVB the easiest “yes” for birthdays, office treats, and thank-yous—beautiful packaging, on-time shipping, and flavors everyone loves.
• National shipping that delights: Donuts, cookies, and cakes that arrive fresh, look premium, and taste like home.
• Corporate & event orders: Streamlined ordering, bulk options, and memorable unboxing so admins look like heroes.
• Select wholesale partners: A few great placements that introduce new fans without stretching our team thin.
• Story + press: Share the wins and the heart behind our bakes so customers feel part of something bigger.
