Amplifying Indigenous Artisans to Kick Off Holiday Shopping Season
OKLAHOMA CITY – Shop in the Historic Capitol Hill District on Black Friday, Nov. 24, 2023, to support more than two dozen Indigenous vendors. We The People Consulting, a Native woman–owned organization, is hosting the inaugural WTP Black Friday Market showcasing Indigenous artistry and culture. The Market will take place 10 a.m.–6 p.m. at 228 SW 25th Street in Oklahoma City.
The Market features a curated selection of Indigenous artisans presenting unique handcrafted works. This includes culinary creators serving authentic cuisine and Indigenous staples, and a variety of products such as jewelry, clothing, and art.
“The Black Friday Market is more than just a shopping experience; it’s a meaningful celebration of the creativity and diversity within our Indigenous communities,” said CEO Kendra Wilson-Clements. “It’s vital to support our local artists and vendors, especially in this current economic climate.”
WTP not only provides a space for Indigenous vendors, the organization also works to empower them through education and resources.
“We offer our members in the Capitol Hill area, as well as Indigenous artists, opportunities to build their businesses through financial coaching, strategy planning and marketing,” said Wilson-Clements.
The Market aims to foster inclusivity and economic empowerment. According to the 2023 Startup Census from The Verge OKC, entrepreneurs in Oklahoma City face unique challenges and need ecosystem building and networking. The Black Friday event addresses these needs, providing economic opportunities and equitable access to space.
Held in WTP’s new center, the Market is a step towards progress and education. For more information and a list of participating businesses, contact Lynesia McKinney at (405) 388-2230 or Lynesia@wethepeople-consulting.com.
