Nile’s Story
Nile started with a simple question. If there was a one-stop shop for Black-owned online shopping, would you use it? Nile Founder Khadijah Robinson sent this text message to hundreds of family and friends in the spring of 2019. The overwhelming answer was, yes! That passion for supporting Black-owned businesses and the drive to create a platform that would better allow online shoppers to do that turned into Nile. Well, first, it was a Google spreadsheet! Our vision was to take our clunky Google spreadsheet and turn it into a platform that looked and worked as well as the amazing brands being featured deserved.
We wanted to show that Black-owned businesses portray excellence and deserve excellence. We viewed our platform as a way to elevate the conversation around Black brands and help people easily find those hidden gems. Almost overnight, this platform that we’ve worked so hard to build and build right has gone from a passion to a necessary purpose. Folks all over the country are looking for ways to buy Black, and they are finding Nile as the perfect answer. Nile is using technology to build connections across the web and drive conscientious shopping with dope brands. We’re ready to grow and to purposefully innovate for Black-businesses.
