Welcome to the Liberation Library — a space built for the descendants of Africa, Black America, the global Diaspora, and our allies who share the vision of collective liberation.

This Month’s Featured Book: Build The Damn Thing by Kathryn Finney
What It’s About:
This is not your typical startup book. It’s a step-by-step, real-world blueprint to building a business when the world wasn’t built for you. Kathryn Finney speaks directly to underestimated founders — especially Black women — with sharp wisdom, humor, and unapologetic power.
Why We Chose It:
Because at OWN Marketplace, we’re not waiting for permission.
We’re building the damn thing — every vendor, every brand, every move we make.
This book? It’s the playbook for people who refuse to sit on the sidelines of legacy.
