To our vibrant community of entrepreneurs, supporters, and allies:
After careful consideration, we regret to announce that the Queen Mary Program is now officially closed. This 3-month incubator, designed to empower 25 Black women vendors with retail space, and resources, did not meet the transformative goals we envisioned for our participants or our mission.
While we celebrate the passion and dedication of every vendor who poured their energy into this initiative, we recognize that the program fell short of delivering the lasting impact we strive to create for Black women entrepreneurs. This decision was not made lightly, but we believe in holding ourselves accountable to the high standards our community deserves.
THANK YOU
To our Queen Mary vendors
Thank you for trusting us with your dreams. Your voices and experiences will shape the future of Black Woman Market. Stay connected—we’re still here to champion your journey.
To our supporters
Your belief in this program fuels our resolve to do better. We’ll return with stronger, more impactful ways to uplift Black women entrepreneurs.
This chapter closes, but our movement continues
