Shop Black Owned Businesses in one place! The word Miiriya is a word from the African language of Bambara/Dioula, my native language. The word means “Thoughts” and “Ideas.” It can be used in many ways. In specific cases, you can use it with other words to mean “Philosophers” or “Thinkers.”

United Statesdisappointed
i ordered several items that i never received. reached out to the person that runs miiriya for a refund and was never refunded. i have had some good experiences but this last one caused me to rethink further support. i do love the idea of this platform. just has some things to work out.
United StatesNice concept but poor UI
coming from a UX/UI designer standpoint, I downloaded the app just to see what sort of products would be on there, and to get a feel for this app in case I’d ever considering buying anything. because I do love supporting small businesses, specifically black owned businesses when I can. But, unfortunately, the layout is so cluttered and confusing and it also is not favorably compatible with my iPhone 13. A lot of buttons are not clickable or functional — just because of where they are positioned on the screen. I would really love to see this app have a “makeover” and starting with a new UI. I feel like that would make the experience so much more enjoyable. It’s an amazing concept, and I commend the developer for doing all of this, but it just seems like it’s time for the app to get a visual update.
United StatesLove love love!!!
Great products from a variety of stores! It feels good to be supporting small Black owned business as well! The person who runs this app does so without charging fees to the companies using it which is amazing! (He also runs a great twitter)
United StatesUnacceptable
I have been a vendor on Miiriya app well over a year. The experience was great up until a few months ago. I have been trying to receive my payment for fulfilled orders since August. I would be willing to pay a fee to sell on the app-and I'm sure other vendors would feel the same in order to profit from this platform but owner decided to handle matters on his own and stated that he fell on hard times amongst other reasons justified. I am sure there are grants out there as well. If the customers are providing payment for the merchandise then why is it so hard to get paid. I am truly disappointed in the outcome of how this situation is being handled not to mention that I just ordered business cards with this app as a website for customers. Sellers/vendors beware if you choose to sell on this app unless the person responsible for this app take better measures on running this app in order to keep it running and vendors get the pay they deserve.
United StatesStarted off good but went down
I was excited that I found a platform that small businesses could advertise their items. Initially things was going good with payments and the vendor would be paid within 2-3 days upon requesting a withdrawal and now it’s taking months to be paid out when the customer has already received their merchandise. As a small business one cannot afford to be giving out free merchandise be that’s what it seems like is happening. The owner provides you with a number to text him so that you can receive your payment and that goes nowhere. I’ve been waiting on my payment for 3 months now and has text at his request “late payment “.

This a great idea and hopefully it can be properly executed by somebody with the proper resources one day. The UI is not user friendly at all. Customers struggle with using the app. OSN claims to use Shopify but even the most inexperienced person could put together a better website/app. Biggest issue: VENDORS ARE NOT BEING PAID. His guarantee is 2-3 days but for the past 9-10 months, he is taking weeks to months to pay vendors out. Customers have already received products and started using them, yet we haven’t even been paid. He is apparently going through a difficult time right now so it appears he is using vendors’ money (as it goes to his account) and just pays them back whenever he can, which is FRAUD. My advice, if you can’t afford to run this yourself and won’t apply for grants to cover costs, just set up a small fee for vendors. Either way, we’d be grateful for the platform. It’s a shame that such a great concept has yielded so many poor experiences. Be cautious using this app.
