Score deals from several Black-owned brands during the annual sale event for Amazon Prime members running July 11 through July 12.
Summer’s “Black Friday” has arrived on Amazon.
Amazon Prime Day, when the online retailer offers exclusive deals for Prime members, launched today, July 11, and runs through July 12. Among many deals to score, several Black-owned brands are offering deals through the retailer in addition to a handful of Black notables, including Oprah and former Bachelorette Tayshia Adams, who have highlighted products they’re most excited about getting at a discount.
Love Oprah’s Book Club? Her own “Love and Happiness Journal” is currently 20% off on Amazon Prime, as well as her recommendation, “Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls: 100 Inspiring Young Changemakers” (currently $27.99). Oprah also has the Tovala 5-in-1 Smart Oven (currently $97.50 on Amazon Prime), Bloomhouse’s 12-Piece nonstick enamel cookware set (currently $280 on Amazon Prime), and Dock & Bay’s reusable makeup pads (currently $7 on Amazon Prime) on her list.
Meanwhile, Adams has her heart set on 10 items in particular, with the lowest item, a set of silk pillowcases, priced at only $9. Her list includes luxury face serums, electronic staples like portable chargers, home goods, and more at reduced prices through Wednesday.
“I’m constantly on the go, and I need a bunch of knickknacks, whether I’m on the plane, airport, or a foreign country,” said Adams.
Elsewhere, model Jasmine Tookes is excited for consumers to take advantage of Prime Day deals on JOJA, her new activewear line with fellow model Josephine Skriver, according to Women’s Wear Daily. Tookes is also excited to shop several of her favorites like Color Wow’s Dreamcoat Supernatural hair spray (currently $19.60), LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask (currently $16.80), and the decently marked-down Nespresso VertuoPlus deluxe coffee and espresso machine by Breville (currently $129.95).
Apart from the various celebrity lists making the rounds, there are a handful of deals on Black-owned brands and products worth mentioning. Items on sale include hair products, makeup, Black-owned stationery, and more. TheGrio’s favorites are below.

Shoppers should also continue to check their favorite brands, as more deals will drop throughout the two-day shopping event. However, it’s also important to be on the lookout for crime. Amazon Prime Day is a major shopping day — and, accordingly, a big draw for potential scammers. BB Metro New York warns shoppers to be aware of phishing emails, unsolicited emails, texts or phone calls, fake social media ads, website dupes, stolen marketing photos and unsecured websites. Using a credit card or PayPal is also advisable to protect your identity and banking information.
