Summer Walker (
LVRN/
Interscope) commemorated the 10/19 anniversary of her debut mixtape,
Last Day of Summer, by partnering with
LVRN Cares to relaunch her “Buy Black Women Sh*t" initiative. On 9/22, the last official day of summer, Walker highlighted a group of Black-women-owned businesses in the Atlanta area that promote self-care, offering access to discounts and more.
Some of the businesses that participated in the second annual event included
City Dogz,
Lot23 Chandler and
The Secret Garden. A directory will be available on
Walker’s website until next September.
Last Day of Summer, released in October 2018, produced the multiplatinum single "Girls Need Love" and a remix featuring
Drake. Walker's latest EP,
Clear 2: Soft Life, was nominated for last year's
Grammy Award for Best R&B Album. More recently, her "Good Good" f/
USHER and
21 Savage was nominated for the
MTV VMA for Best R&B Video.
