Buying Black isn't always easy. We might not know where to shop or if the product is even Black-owned if the label doesn't say so. But shopping exclusively from Black vendors and businesses just got a lot easier.
Instead of checking popular sites like Amazon or Etsy when you need something, try using Miiriya, a Black-owned app that was created to ensure you could get Black-owned products delivered to you quickly with ease. But Miiriya isn't the only place you can find Black businesses.
If you prefer to shop on your computer, We Buy Black is a website that allows customers to buy everyday products like dish soap and toothbrushes, all from Black vendors. And Diddy’s Shop Circulate is launching soon.
The existence of these websites is important – but they also provide a major benefit traditional retailers do.
Accessibility! A common excuse people make for not shopping Black is because it's too hard. It's much easier to fill up your cart on Amazon or buy something crafty from Etsy when you want that homemade feel.
But these apps let you stop making excuses and start circulating that powerful Black dollar.
Utilizing these sites before we try a major retailer will help keep our businesses successful and empower so many Black vendors. Buying Black just got so much easier!
