Join us as we honor the legacy and contributions of African Americans throughout history!
At Power 98.3 & 96.1, we’re proud to celebrate Black History Month by shining a spotlight on the resilience, creativity, and entrepreneurship within the Black community. Throughout the month of February, we will highlight different Black-owned businesses and community events, showcasing the diversity and vibrancy of Black culture.
Spotlight on Black-Owned Businesses:
Each week, we will feature a selection of Black-owned businesses from our community. From innovative startups to longstanding institutions, these businesses represent the ingenuity and economic empowerment of Black entrepreneurs. Tune in to learn about their stories, products, and services, and discover how you can support them.
This Week we are showcasing Straw & Wool

Since its inception in 2020, Straw & Wool embodies a passion for style ingrained in its founders’ DNA. Each founder brings a wealth of experience garnered from years of independently selling men’s accessories. Nestled in the vibrant city of Phoenix, renowned for its diverse community drawn from across the nation, Straw & Wool emerged as a beacon for aficionados and novices alike in the timeless art of hat fashion. Their mission? To curate a haven where hat lovers can indulge their passion and newcomers can embark on an exciting sartorial journey.
