Good Good Good - Recent diversity, equity, and inclusion rollbacks have led many Americans to reconsider their relationship with major retailers like Amazon and Target.
But Dacia Petrie has been waiting for this moment since 2018.
The UI and web designer started her journey as many young women do: with an Instagram page. Here, she curated Black-owned businesses and prominent Black leaders to profile and highlight.
After enrolling in web design courses at Spelman University, she later launched her app and website Black Nile in 2021.
“I saw somebody in the comments saying that they’re looking for a Black Amazon,” Petrie said in a recent TikTok video.
“Sister, I’mma hold your hand when I say this. This ain’t Amazon. It’s Black Nile.”
The app’s website goes on to add that “The Nile holds a profound symbolism, rich with layers of meaning that resonate deeply with our faith in Christ, our heritage, and unique plight in history.”
