About Us
Welcome to NCNWShop.com, where style meets solidarity & empowerment is always in fashion!
Hi, I’m Arnetta Mack, owner and curator of NCNWShop.com
This journey started in 2017 with a simple observation: I couldn’t find much NCNW merchandise locally in Los Angeles. As a fairly new member of the View Park Section, I decided to do something about it.
I started with just two styles of pins, mostly for members of my section. Word spread, social media helped, and soon I was sourcing more products and creating some of my own designs. Since then, more than 200 distinct NCNW items have made their way through the shop, from jewelry and accessories to apparel, caps, journals, bags, commemorative pieces and more.
What began as a small local effort has grown into NCNWShop.com, serving thousands of customers in more than 40 states. Along the way, the shop caught the attention of the National Council of Negro Women at headquarters in DC, and I was invited to become the first officially licensed vendor for NCNW, Inc., the historic organization founded by Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune in 1935.
Today, I continue to personally source, select and design products that celebrate NCNW, its members and its legacy. We also recognize important causes, including Breast Cancer and Domestic Violence Awareness, with selected product sales helping support related organizations.
And since you made it all the way down here, here’s a little something for you! Use code ABOUTUS for 15% off your entire order. One use per customer, so use it while it lasts!
Thank you for shopping with us and being part of the NCNWShop.com story.
