Camille Washington, owner and operator of the mobile holistic healing company Smudged Life, noticed a lack of black vendors in Tampa’s indie market scene, and decided to create her own indie market.

Indie Noir a space where black businesses can culminate and thrive. Now, supporting small black businesses has never been easier, with dozens of Tampa-based black vendors coming together at the next Indie Noir Market this Saturday, June 8, in Tampa Heights.

Sat., June 8. Tampa Heights Junior Civic Association, 2005 N. Lamar Ave., Tampa. 11 a.m.-3 p.m.. indienoirmarket.com.
