That's what your household spends a year on the eight things in this box. You're already paying it. The only question is who gets it.
The BlacBox brings all eight to your door from Black-owned brands. It starts at $48 a month. Twelve friends and it becomes $48 a year — permanently. Drag the slider and watch it happen.

How your bill goes away
We keep $612 of your trillion in your hands. All we ask is that you tell somebody.
Most companies hand a platform a fortune to run ads at you. We don't run ads and we don't track anybody — so that money has to go somewhere. We'd rather it went to you, and stayed in our community.
Step one
You join
Pick a tier, get your code. That code is yours — put it in a text, a group chat, wherever.
Step two
A friend uses it
The second their payment clears, it counts. Not in 60 days. That day.
Step three
A month comes off your bill
Not points. Not a coupon with fine print. A month you don't pay for, on your account that day.
Step four
Twelve and you're done
Referral requirement retired for good — $48 a year from then on. Keep going anyway and every friend is a $25 credit in the Mall.
You never have to refer anybody.
Let's be clear, because plenty of programs aren't. Your membership never depends on bringing people in. Pay every month for ten years and never send us a soul — nothing changes. Referring is a discount you can earn. It isn't rent.
And you don't lose ground. Miss a month, pay it yourself, pick back up whenever. Your count never resets. Three friends is three friends whether it took you a week or a year.
One straight-up thing, said now instead of buried later: your months live with your membership. Cancel and they go with it — you can't bank seven months, walk away, and come back to collect. Need a break? Pause instead. Pausing holds every month you earned.
The month lands when their payment clears.
Not after a waiting period. Your friend's payment goes through, and a month comes off your bill. Refer three people in week one and you're covered into the new year — that same week.
Your account shows one line: the date you're paid through, and how many friends are left to twelve. We'll email you when a friend clears and again before anything's due. Never the day of, never after.
And twelve isn't the end of it. Past twelve you're a Circulation Legend — every friend after that is a $25 credit in the Mall, plus a quarterly drop from one of our brands. You did the hardest work this project has. We're not going to stop paying you for it.
Choose your tier
Pick what comes to your door. Choose how your trillion comes back.
The referral math is the same on all three — twelve friends and you're down to one payment a year. What changes is what shows up at your door, and how far your money travels after it leaves your hands.

What's actually in it
Things you were going to buy anyway. That's how we keep our Trillion flowing.
We're not asking you to spend new money on a treat. We're asking you to buy your soap from us instead of from them. Four full sizes that run out in about a month, four trial sizes to introduce you to a new Black brand.
Hand soap
The pump by the kitchen sink. Empty every month, guaranteed.
Bar soap or body wash
Gone in three or four weeks. Every time.
Toothpaste or tooth powder
One a month, like clockwork.
Deodorant
Six to eight weeks a stick. Magnesium, no aluminium.
Body butter
A full jar lasts a season. You'd be stacking them.
Hair — oil, mist or leave-in
Try it before you commit to a bottle.
Seasoning or hot sauce
Something new on the table every month.
Coffee or tea
Enough to know if it's your morning.
Why some full and some small?
Because a sachet of detergent is a joke — nobody switches detergent off one load. And a full jar of body butter every month means by March you've got four of them and you're cancelling.
We size it to how fast you actually use it. If it runs out in a month, you get the whole thing. If it lasts a season, you get enough to decide.
Love a brand you tried? Go get it.
Brands rotate every month. If somebody's in your box in October and gone in November, they're still in the Mall — and they ship it to you themselves.
We don't want you to sample. We want you to switch. That only counts if you go back for the full size on your own.
The Trill Mall
Every brand on our shelf is Black-owned.
Eight brands come to your door each month. The rest live here. Love a brand that rotated out? Go get the full size — most products ship straight from the brand that made it.

Ships from the brand
Straight from the maker
Connected through Shopify Collective. Their stock, their packing, their tracking. When they run low, it disappears here the same day — we can't sell you something that isn't there.
Pre-order
We place the order
Brands not on Shopify yet. You buy it, we buy it from them, it ships to you. Slower, and we tell you how slow before you pay.
Members
10% off the whole shelf
Household members and up. Free shipping over $40. The box is the introduction — the Mall is where you actually switch.
Why we do this
Two trillion dollars a year. And almost none of it comes back.
We earn it, we spend it, and we have almost no say in where it ends up. That's the part that got me — not how much we make, but how little control we have over where it goes after we make it.
I run a financial planning practice. I spend my days talking with people about their money, and I kept running into the same thing: you can budget right, you can do everything you're supposed to do, and still hand every dollar you've got to companies that were never going to hire you, stock your corner store, or sponsor your kid's team.
You already decide what goes in your cart. This is just putting that decision where it counts.
So it isn't charity and it isn't a movement you have to join. It's soap. It's toothpaste. It's the same shelf you were already buying from — pointed somewhere you actually chose.
Keep It Trill! 🖤

Pick a tier and drag for how many friends you'd bring. The number is what stays with you instead of going to the same three companies.
The Pay It Forward Project
Charity patches a hole. A purchase order builds something.
Since I started this I've met more Black entrepreneurs than I can count. Different products, different cities, same wall every time: nobody will fund them.
So we don't pass a hat. We buy from them. A quarter of every Pay It Forward box becomes a purchase order — real inventory, at a real price, shipping in real boxes. Right now that's Jerome Clark at In Good Conscience.
