Wouldn’t it be awesome if there was a place you could shop where you knew you was supporting black businesses and buying black? Well, there is now and it’s called We Buy Black!
Launched in 2015, the site is constantly growing and becoming a formidable marketplace.
From Clothing to Jewellery, Toys, Beauty products and pretty much everything else it may be a great site to get ourselves all behind!

Here is what they have to say about themselves!
WeBuyBlack.com is the largest online marketplace for Black (African American and those of African descent) businesses and individual sellers. Vendors may register to sell their products to a diverse, open, and international market. The concept of Webuyblack.com is nothing new, in fact having a curated business dedicated to help support one’s own ethnicity is very common if not natural and it’s seen practiced all over the world. Webuyblack.com was created by Howard University Alumnus Shareef Abdul-Malik in his senior year in 2014 after being inspired: “I was inspired by a common motif heard among all great black leaders, we need to do for self and allow the world the opportunity to buy directly from the Black community.”
The site was launched for public purchases on June 19th 2015, which marked the 150th anniversary of Juneteenth. On October 21st 2015, Webuyblack.com launched a campaign to raise $30,000 in 30 days to build a more efficient website. Not only was the goal reached but it was surpassed by over $4,000. The site will soon be reconfigured to enhance the security, overall features, site speed, and to lower maintenance. The goal of webuyblack.com is to find creative ways to help the Black community circulate their dollars more among their own community, to allow the world to witness and purchase the beautiful products of the African people, and to position Black businesses to not only provide for their family and community, but to prepare for their rightful contribution and help for the world.
We urge that everyone experience the site by making a purchase today! Thank you.
