Spending with Purpose: Supporting Black-Owned Businesses

It’s February, time to save and support Black-owned businesses. We shop all year supporting corporations by purchasing our daily essentials and the things we want. In honor of Black History Month, we’re sharing deals from Black-owned businesses. Feel free to share a Black-owned product or business in the comments.

It’s about spending with purpose and discovering businesses you might continue to support long after February. If you’re a Black-owned business owner, feel free to introduce yourself as well. Let’s use this space to connect, uplift, and spotlight brand...
