Vendor fee for Diamond to sell her candles at the Black Market Flea
Posted Jan 24, 2024
Diamond is entering the next phase of her journey as a business owner and was accepted to be a vendor at the upcoming Black Market Flea! This is a popular flea market in Los Angeles that amasses hundreds of attendees each month. Since this will be Diamond's first booth outside of the Foster Youth Flea Market, which doesn't charge foster youth vendors any fees, she is unable to buy all of her supplies for her products and pay for the Black Market Flea. Having this fee covered would support Diamond in being able to sell her products at the Black Market Flea and earn a profit to pay her bills.
Diamond is 27 years old and lives in CA
Diamond spent years moving from place to place in foster care, craving safety and belonging. At 18 years old, when she aged out of the system, she became instantly homeless and spent five years transferring from shelter to shelter. She moved into her first affordable housing placement in 2020, and with her newfound safety and space, she discovered her passion for candle-making. That same year, she launched her own candle business called TheElevenShop and started selling her candles online. Diamond was one of the first-ever vendors at the Foster Youth Flea Market, where she sold out that same day! Her business gives a percentage back to other youth in the foster care system, and she dreams of one day owning her own transitional housing program for foster youth.
