Hailey Dukart and Sharly Scannell, the founders of Blk House Mrkt.
Sharly Scannell is a transplant from South Carolina and moved to Tucson to pursue her education at the University of Arizona. Aside from Blk House Mrkt, Sharly is an SEO content writer, the proud owner of Clever Stitches, and a loving mom to her two small children. Sharly aspires to create spaces for her children to grow up where representation matters and knowing where your community is!
Hailey Dulart grew up in Tucson and rarely saw events and spaces intentionally created for Black folks. As she got older, it became a personal mission to create spaces that are created for and by Black people. In her off time, she is a full-time case manager at Emerge, supporting domestic violence victims in creating a life free from abuse.
Together, their shared vision turned into a passion project and then into a community collective.
