Since 2015, we’ve been documenting the beauty, brilliance, and boldness of Black women in print — building an archive that holds space for our truth. This piece on BLK MKT Vintage is one of many that reminds us: legacy isn’t something you look back on. It’s something you build, protect, and pass on. As we turn the page into a new chapter powered by our readers, we’re asking — will you help carry this work forward?
Soul Work, Real Work
BLK MKT Vintage isn’t just an antique shop — it’s a living archive of our legacy, powered by self-determination and protected by love. Founders Kiyanna Stewart and Jannah Handy have built more than a business; they’ve created a sanctuary where Black stories are collected, preserved, and honored. In a world that has long distorted or discarded our past, their work reclaims it — one object, one memory, one moment at a time. This is what ownership looks like. This is how we build the future by honoring where we’ve been.
This next chapter depends on you.
