I’ve been making more of a conscientious effort to shop black owned lately and as much as I am excited to have been able to discover businesses that offer products made for people like me in mind by people like me, I’m also saddened that my knowledge of these businesses came at such an emotional and difficult time for our community.
I’ve come across so many resources that have shared long lists of businesses I didn’t know about, but am grateful for their collective effort since I can now be additional support to amazing business owners and entrepreneurs.
Its been so nice to see the creativity, grit and grind from these small businesses and their success in creating a space for themselves and their products and services.
