Built for African Descendants, Friends of African Descendants, the U.S. Diaspora, and Beyond.

OWN Marketplace is more than an e-commerce platform — it’s a Pan-African power move. We’re a movement uniting producers in Africa with buyers in the U.S. Diaspora and beyond. This is where Black excellence meets ownership, where we reclaim the supply chain, and where every purchase echoes with legacy.

We welcome producers, makers, artisans, and service providers from across Africa, the U.S. Diaspora, the global community, and allies who stand with us. If your business aligns with legacy, liberation, and economic empowerment — this is your platform.

To disrupt the dependency mindset. OWN Marketplace was born to bridge continents, close economic gaps, and shift from consumers to owners. We’re not just participating in commerce — we’re reshaping it.

No. While OWN Marketplace is rooted in Pan-African values, we believe in unity through purpose. Anyone who supports Black-owned businesses, legacy-building, and economic justice is welcome to shop, support, and stand with us.

Yes — proudly and powerfully. OWN Marketplace was founded by an African descendant to empower the global family. We answer to no boardroom, no gatekeepers — just the call of legacy and generational wealth.

We prioritize businesses that lead with intention. Vendors must align with our mission of quality, legacy, culture, and economic justice. Each brand featured is vetted to ensure they uplift the values we stand on.

Not at all. OWN Marketplace is a space for legacy in every form. We feature everything from handmade goods, art, jewelry, and fashion — to business services, coaching, legal and financial expertise, virtual assistants, wellness practitioners, IT pros, and digital creators. Whether you’re in health, tech, law, beauty, education, finance, consulting, or the creative arts — if what you offer builds culture, commerce, or consciousness, OWN Marketplace is your global stage.

Absolutely. We serve the global Diaspora. Whether you’re in Atlanta or Accra, London or Lagos — OWN Marketplace connects the culture across borders.

By creating direct-to-consumer channels for African and Diasporic producers, we empower families and communities to build lasting income. Every purchase recirculates dollars back into our ecosystem — not out of it.

Join the movement. Become a vendor, a supporter, or a brand ambassador. Partner with us to create impact. This isn’t just a marketplace — it’s a revolution in motion.
