If there were a theme song for the Uptown Underground Market it would be Aretha Franklin’s “Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves.” Far too often we spend so much of our time and energy waiting for someone else to help us out, to put us on, not considering the power we have ourselves.
The Uptown Underground Market is a collective of creative Black women who are trying to use our power and influence to empower other Black artisans, authors, designers and entrepreneurs. Check out the women who will be featured at our upcoming market, the products they've created, and the services they offer.
