Looking for a fun and engaging way to spend your weekend? Head on down to Melanin Market Omaha on Saturday, July 6 from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.! This vibrant event is the perfect opportunity to mingle, explore, and immerse yourself in a lively community atmosphere.
Melanin Market Omaha was founded in 2021 by Ty and Dell Nared Jr. Initially, the couple owned a wooden toy company called Meraki Montessori, which has since closed. During their journey, they noticed a significant lack of diversity among vendors in the market scene.
Determined to change this, the Nared’s launched Melanin Market Omaha, a dynamic platform that has flourished into a vital hub for BIPOC entrepreneurs to showcase their talents, products, and services.
Melanin Market Omaha offers a rich cultural experience and serves as a crucial space for community engagement, Ty Nared said. The market amplifies the voices of minority-owned businesses, providing them with the support needed to thrive within the community.
At the market, you'll find a variety of unique, handcrafted items and culturally significant products, including jewelry, beauty products, art, and apparel. The market also features diverse culinary delights, inviting you to try new and exciting foods from different cultures.
Melanin Market Omaha is more than just a shopping destination, Nared said. "It's not just a place to shop. It's a place where people can connect, learn, and celebrate the diverse cultures within our city," she said. This event is a wonderful opportunity to meet new people, learn about different cultures, and support local Black-owned businesses.
