What's the BUZZ? Made by Malyia x BuzzFeed #BuyBlack Pop-Up

On the last day of February, we ended black history month with BuzzFeed's #BuyBlack Pop-up shop! The amazing editor's at BuzzFeed brought together a collective of small black-owned businesses. This moment was a full circle moment for us, last year BuzzFeed featured our brand 9 Beauty And Style Products You Didn't Know You Needed Until Now. It was one of our first major features and they have continued to highlight and support us. 

Check out the pictures from BuzzFeed's #BuyBlack Pop-up Shop below! I met so many business owners I admire like Danessa Lyrics, it was a great time. The BuzzFeed office is a photoshoot heaven so be prepared, I took pictures all over the office! lol
