"In addition to selling beaded coin purses and zebra bucket hats, Sincerely Tommy has coffee and vegan pastries available at its cafe counter. The shop’s owner, Kai Avent-deLeon, founded an organization called Building Black Bedstuy that aims to provide financial relief for Black-owned businesses in the neighborhood. And every Sunday from 12-5pm, her organization hosts a marketplace at this Bed-Stuy coffee shop where Black-owned vendors sell books, art, clothing, incense, skincare, jewelry, and more. Follow the organization’s progress here." - Hannah Albertine, Nikko Duren
