These days, we're more conscious than ever of where our money is going and who it is supporting. The holiday season is a great time to spend with intention.
BIPOC creators can use your support. Instead of buying everything from major retailers, consider supporting BIPOC-owned businesses, where your money truly makes a difference.
Etsy is a great place to find creators from all walks of life sharing their talents with the world. These are the BIPOC creators we're shopping from this holiday season.
