If you were reading MadameNoire, earlier this year, you might have heard about our Uptown Underground Market. The brainchild of Andrea Reed in collaboration with myself and my sister we launched a market that was dedicated on empowering Black women artisans, creatives, and entrepreneurs. And while anybody with their own business will tell you that there is very little that comes easy, I know all three of us feel very proud to be able to support women like us: Black women who are trying to hustle for themselves. It's a beautiful thing. So as our first market was coming to an end, we were already making plans for the next one. And that next one is taking place this Saturday, June 10 in Harlem, New York.
In addition to just shopping, this month we're extending an opportunity for our customers to give back as well. We've partnered with For Girls By Girls NYC, an organization that seeks to provide access to sanitary products for homeless girls. FGBG is asking that customers bring either monetary donations or sanitary products for these young ladies.
The information is included in the flyer above, but check out the vendors who will be selling their wares this time around. For those of you who don't live in New York, the name of each business is linked to their websites where you can order online.

127|East is new to the market this month. The nourishing ingredients in their lip-wear products promise to moisturize and rejuvenate your lips while also delivering exceptional color, brilliant shine and long lasting wear.
