The word Miiriya is a word from the African language of Bambara/Dioula, my native language. The word means “Thoughts” and “Ideas.” It can be used in many ways. In specific cases it can also mean “Philosophers” or “Thinkers.” Miiriya, a place to shop Black Owned Businesses, gathers people who believe in ideas, change, and come together as creatives and thinkers to make those ideas come true. It’s a place that aims to provide you with whatever comes to mind. Vendors can sign up using the human icon at the top right on the website. There are no transaction fees and no listing fees. I pay out of pocket to maintain the website’s bills.
