You Can Find Black-Owned Businesses Wherever You Are With the Help of This App

Blapp is an e-commerce marketplace app that highlights black-owned businesses by location. According to Lonely Planet, Blapp works through its web-scraping technology to provide a consolidated and current repository of information from across the internet.

The information is then filtered in the app and organized into categories so users can easily navigate a city and find Black-owned restaurants, clothing stores, nail salons, hair salons, etc.

Blapp will give users a plethora of options to choose from. If a user is looking for places in New York, eateries like Amarachi located in Brooklyn Heights that serves African cuisines will be shown. For the sweet tooth, there is Happy Zoe Vegan Bakery that offers sweet vegan options. Or, shopping options like Brother Vellies, which sells handcrafted African-influenced fashion.
