All work is hand crafted
and created by local artists, they are not mass produced. We pay a fair price for the art and resell it to you, the consumer. What you purchase here is helping two independent Black art enthusiasts build a thriving business that supports Black artists in any discipline.

Thank you for visiting Global Black Womn!
GBW started from my world travels, particularly in South Africa when I was there in 2016. I began bringing back handmade jewelry and bags and selling them online or at markets throughout the city I lived in. I had an Etsy shop called Global Black Woman (which I am having a hard time recovering after closing it a few years ago). After taking a trip to Conakry, Guinea 2021, I met Mr Keita, a local art dealer and shop owner, who supported me greatly during my very stressful trip. I had fallen sick with malaria and covid simultaneously while traveling with a group of people that treated me quite badly.
Keita had amazing art, some of which I purchased. I decided that I loved his art so much and wanted to extend my gratitude to him and his community of local artisans by buying from them and selling to you. Additionally, I travel quite regularly to Accra, Ghana where some of the most amazing handmade jewelry is in abundance. Spending much of my time in Germany, I find that it is difficult to get Black art and African jewelry like I am used to. I grew up in New York City where these things along with local made shea and cocoa butter products were easy to find. These products are not so easy to find. So I make them or buy them and bring them to you. I hope you will enjoy.
