Support your local Black businesses during this festive season. Shop with heart, shop with intention.
Because franchise faceless companies aren’t your only option anymore- it matters to know who you’re spending with, whose dream you’re fuelling, whose legacy you’re lifting.

Our grid is filled with businesses we’ve tagged over the years, creators, makers and brands we’ve worked with, loved and proudly support 🖤

This winter, we’ve stepped back to rest. So you have probably noticed there’s no Melanin Markets Winter Wonders this month. But we’ll be back rejuvenated & evolved next year 🙏🏾

In the meantime it’s been great seeing & attending all the different UK markets & events! The scene is thriving with brilliant markets, creatives and community events right now. It’s wonderful to be in such powerful company.

Go support local, explore, fill your winter up in community✨

🤌🏾 big thank to Khrissy for gifting us this custom MM sign & sending us a bunch of empowering pins that reflect us to a T! Everyone loved them at our last event & we’ve seen so many people rocking the pins on bags, coats & even in their hair. We are such a great community.

That’s a wrap on Melanin Markets Summer Pop Up! An absolutely wonderful day. Thank you to every single person involved. We smashed it & I truly feel so grateful to say that as we hit 4 years of MM we came full circle & filled the castle that is Contact in such a beautiful, special, heartwarming way. The purpose & prophecy in it all isn’t lost.

There’s plenty pics and vids we’ll be sharing over the next few weeks because wow you need to see this movie! Bianca 🤎
