About the
Show Yourself Market

Show Yourself Market is more than just a market. It’s a place where young creative people come together to share what they love. I created this event to be a safe space where you can truly be yourself. No judgment. No pressure. Just good vibes and people who accept you for who you are.

Our Story

It started with a small idea and grew into a growing community.
Through every edition, we’ve stayed true to our values:
supporting creatives and creating a safe space where everyone feels welcome.

Meet Emma, The organisator of the Show Yourself Market

About The Organisator

Hello Angel!! My name is Emma, and I’m currently 23 years old.

I recently graduated as a Graphic Designer, and I also graduated as an Animal Caretaker back in 2022. I live together with my boyfriend, our two dogs, Sunny & Marley, our two cats, Nilo & Yoda, and our bird, Mochi.

I’m the face behind the Show Yourself Market, which I’ve been organizing since 2024 yes, while I was still studying! I’m learning more and more every day, and I can’t wait to have even more fun with all of you.

I started the Show Yourself Market back in 2024 to uplift small businesses (I started for my mutuals, hehe) and, of course, for the most important reason: to create a safe and warm space where everyone can truly belong and make friends.
When I was younger, I was bullied a lot because I was different from everyone else. My outfits were called weird, my dark eyebrows were made fun of, and I often felt like I didn't belong. I didn't really had friends around that time, and I felt lonely most of the time.

When I discovered K-pop, things only got worse. My only safe place was at home, and I started calling in sick from school more and more. During that time, I wished there had been a place like Show Yourself Market, a place where I could simply be myself without feeling judged. That's exactly why I created SYM.
I know there are so many people, both young and old, who have felt the same way and don't know where they truly belong. My hope is that Show Yourself Market can be that place for them: a place where they can meet new friends, discover their passions, and become part of a caring and welcoming community.

More than anything, I want SYM to be a safe space where you can be unapologetically yourself. I'm working on it every single day to make it the best experience I possibly can for every single person who walks through our doors.

After my first edition, I kept receiving so many amazing messages from people asking,
“When is the next one?” And that’s where it all started. <3

it's a place where you can truly be you.

Whether you're into K-pop, anime, gaming, art, cosplay, fashion, books, or something completely different, you'll find people who share your passions. We bring together different fandoms, cultures, backgrounds, and creative communities in one welcoming space filled with kindness, respect, and fun.

Our community is built on acceptance and support. It's a place where friendships begin, creators inspire one another, and everyone is encouraged to express themselves without judgment. Whether you're visiting for the first time or returning every edition, you'll always be welcomed with open arms.
