 The Black Box™ Returns: The Celebrated Subscription Experience Showcasing Black-Owned Businesses Relaunches After COVID Hiatus

Phoenix, AZ – [July 15, 2025] — After a multi-year pause due to COVID-related supply chain challenges, The Black Box™ has officially relaunched. Created by Founder Talei Hornback, The Black Box is a quarterly subscription service curated to spotlight the excellence, creativity, and innovation within Black-owned businesses. Originally debuting in February 2019, the brand quickly experienced impressive year-over-year growth and was widely celebrated for its mission-driven model and unique product curation.

From features on BuzzFeed, My Subscription Addiction, and Harper’s Bazaar to a brand partnership with EPIX for the Season 2 debut of Godfather of Harlem, The Black Box carved out a dynamic and culture-forward space in the subscription box market. However, like many small businesses, the brand faced pandemic-related setbacks, including increased postage rates, extended shipping delays, and production hurdles—ultimately prompting a temporary sunset of operations.

Now, with a renewed focus and expanded flexibility, The Black Box returns stronger than ever. Subscribers can still enjoy the original quarterly subscription model—now enhanced for greater value and convenience—but also have the new option to make a single-purchase, no-commitment order. Whether discovering your new favorite Black-owned candle line, kitchenware, or snack company, each box is a meaningful step toward economic empowerment and community celebration.

“The Black Box was created to expose mass audiences to the incredible things happening in Black-owned businesses. Our goal has always been to support and celebrate,” said founder Talei Hornback. “We’re thrilled to return and continue that mission in a way that’s more accessible than ever.”
