Founded by an Ivorian American born in the U.S - An app that lets you find Black Owned Businesses from the entire Black Diaspora conveniently in one place, and also lets you help the community through Mutual Aid. (Some people asked that I update the descriptions so people can know which ethnicity created the app before downloading, so people can choose whether they'd like to download it or not. This is the reason the descriptions and subtitles have been updated- not as a boast)

Helix is a city-based fashion marketplace to discover, buy, sell, and rent clothing locally. By turning garments into living archives that carry stories and memory, Helix extends the life of what already exists and connects people through what they wear. Unlike traditional resale apps, Helix focuses on in-person exchange. Browse what’s available near you, meet locally to complete transactions, and build real connections through what you wear. What you can do on Helix: • Discover locally Find clothing and accessories from people, vintage shops, and independent designers in your city. Explore fashion where you live or switch locations to browse while traveling. • Buy, sell, and rent List items from your wardrobe, rent pieces for special occasions, or shop unique garments nearby. Keep clothing in motion instead of sitting unused. • Carry stories forward Each garment holds the stories and memories of the people who have worn it. Helix allows those experiences to travel with the piece, creating a deeper sense of connection with every exchange. • Earn beyond the first sale With Helix’s infinite commission model, original sellers continue to earn each time their item is resold or rented, rewarding durability and long-term use. Helix moves fashion away from anonymous transactions and toward a more connected, local, and circular system where clothing is valued and kept in use.
