Happy Juneteenth friends! My sisters and I have been brainstorming ideas on how to support the Black community and we realized a huge way to support is through what we purchase to increase the economic lifespan of our dollars within the Black community. Keep in mind that a good business is a good business, regardless of the skin color of the owner. Think of this list of Black Owned businesses as a reference for how you can diversify your shopping. Most of the businesses on this resource cater to the vast population, not just the Black community so feel free to check them out! Some of these businesses are owned by friends/family, several products I have tried, and some are brands that I’d like to try. Finally, I’ve also added businesses for you to simply read their stories to gain inspiration. This list will be updated on a regular basis, and if you know of a Black Owned business that you’d like to see on this list, let me know at the bottom! Without further ado, Black Owned Businesses!
