A Fulshear Farmers Market vendor told the City Council during citizen comments on Oct. 7 that she was removed from the market after a confrontation with the market manager on Sept. 20.
The vendor, who identified herself as Cameron H., said she arrived before the market opened, set up her tent and began serving customers. She said market manager Ramona Ridge photographed her products, repeatedly asked her to pick up trash she said was not hers, and then accused her of being racist when the vendor declined. Cameron said the exchange occurred in front of customers while she was being live-streamed to roughly 800 viewers on TikTok and that the manager later said the vendor treated Black patrons differently than white patrons. The vendor said no concrete examples were provided when she asked for evidence.
Cameron said she later met with the manager and was told her application fee would be refunded and that the market and vendor were “not a good fit,” despite reporting $300–$400 per hour in sales at the site. She said the loss of the market spot removed an important hair-care service for community members and damaged her business’s reputation.
Mayor and council thanked the vendor for speaking and moved to the next agenda items; the council did not take immediate action on the comment. The vendor’s remarks were recorded during the meeting’s public-comment period.
