If you're looking to treat yourself to some jewelry, skin care , fashion, or home decor items and trying to use your dollars to support Black-owned businesses, you're in luck! We've done the internet scouring for you and lined up some of the most adorable, affordable, and interesting shops around.
Now is a good time to put your dollars and your voice someplace that will make a real difference. Yes, you can always do your shopping at big-box stores, but supporting small businesses is great for the economy and helps real people out! Not only that, but when you shop at small stores and boutiques, the items you buy are often of higher quality and often one-of-a-kind, unique, or at least created in small batches. Because of this fact, you can be sure that when you buy a cute bandana or pair of earrings, you won't see 10 other people rocking the exact same styles as you on a daily basis!
Shop these amazing items from Black-owned businesses, carefully curated for you:
