22 Shares

Sustaining the cycle of dollars within the Black community is important to me and I've been talking about it for awhile. And since last year, there's been much more interest in supporting Black-owned businesses and brands and I want to help you keep that same energy going until forever. So today, I'm dropping off 28 Black-owned brands to shop every day of this Black History Month and beyond.

It's most impactful to shop Black owned regularly for products and services that we will sustainably use on a recurring basis so I made sure to include several everyday items from Black businesses in addition to things that make great gifts from Black-owned brands, so you're covered either way. The goal of this guide is to help you make buying Black a part of your routine and that you find a few things to share with your community.
