The movement called Melanin on Market was originally created by, our owner, Cherné Altovise's first initiative in partnership with fellow businesses to celebrate other black and brown businesses. By allowing these businesses to setup in our locations, we were able to bring awareness to other small businesses and support the movement in a one stop shop pop up mall experience. Over the years Melanin on Market's initiative has evolved and in light of today's events we are making a virtual list to combat the unjust killing of our people with the most powerful weapon KNOWLEDGE on all black owned businesses nationwide. Click the links below to support and continue to revolution.  This list will be updated continuously, but these are the businesses I've personally shopped with and recommend with physical locations and/or websites.
