Black Friday is around the corner, and while it's known for unbeatable deals, this year, I want to invite you to look at it from a different angle—a chance to support Black-owned businesses, including my own, Daolondon.
As a Black woman entrepreneur, my journey has been filled with ups and downs, but it’s also been one of passion, purpose, and community. I’m excited to share how you can be part of this movement and support brands like mine this Black Friday.
1. Discover Black-Owned Brands That Speak to You
Starting Daolondon was all about creating pieces that reflect my African heritage while resonating with my personal style and identity. When I first launched, I wanted to fill the gap for women like me who are looking for edgy and modern African-inspired fashion.
This Black Friday, take a moment to explore these and other Black-owned businesses. By shopping their collections, you’ll find unique, high-quality pieces crafted with passion, just like what you’ll see at Daolondon—where my signature mud cloth corsets and other bold, statement pieces are designed to make you feel both empowered and stylish.
2. The Behind-the-Scenes Journey of Daolondon
Running Daolondon as a solo entrepreneur has been a journey filled with passion, late nights, and personal growth. I pour my heart into each piece, from sourcing authentic materials to working with artisans and perfecting every detail. It’s not just about fashion; it’s about telling a story—my story—and connecting it with yours.
This Black Friday, instead of chasing fast-fashion deals, I’m inviting you to choose pieces that embody authenticity and craft. Daolondon’s collection reflects my journey, and every purchase supports not just my business but a larger movement celebrating Black entrepreneurship and culture. When you choose to shop Black-owned, you’re investing in a brand that stands for heritage, quality, and individuality.
3. Engaging with Black-Owned Brands Makes a Difference
It means so much to me when you share your purchases online or leave a review for Daolondon. Seeing my pieces worn by customers who feel empowered is what keeps me going. As a solo entrepreneur, these interactions are everything. This Black Friday, when you shop, think about leaving a review or posting your look—it helps my brand and other Black-owned businesses grow.
If you love your purchase, tag us @daolondon, and let’s create a community where we celebrate each other. Every shout-out and share means so much.
4. Plan Ahead for Black Friday Exclusives
I’ve been working hard behind the scenes to plan exclusive offers for Daolondon this Black Friday. As a subscriber to my newsletter, you’ll get early access to these deals and the latest drops, including some new statement pieces that I’ve been excited to share.
Make sure you’re signed up, and take advantage of what we have planned. Supporting Black-owned businesses can also mean getting exclusive deals that honour quality and authenticity.
5. Give Thoughtful Gifts This Holiday Season
Every year, I carefully curate my collection to offer pieces that are not just beautiful but meaningful. This holiday season, think about gifting a piece from a Black-owned brand.
At Daolondon, I’ve created accessories and statement pieces that are perfect for gifting—like our handcrafted jewellery that showcases African-inspired designs.
Giving a gift from Daolondon or another Black-owned business means supporting a small business owner’s dream while also sharing culture and craftsmanship with those you love.
Be Part of My Journey This Black Friday
This Black Friday isn’t just about shopping—it's a chance to be part of something bigger. At Daolondon, I’m working tirelessly to bring my passion and culture to life through my pieces. By supporting my brand, you’re joining me on this journey and investing in a movement that uplifts Black entrepreneurs and celebrates heritage.
I’d love for you to explore my collection this Black Friday. Thank you for being a part of Daolondon’s story, and I can’t wait to see how you style your pieces!
