10 Black-Owned Businesses/Brands to Support on Black Friday and Every Day

It’s the holidays! A seasonal reminder to be thankful for all that we have and the people we encounter. To show support and uplift one another. Today, I’d like to share some black-owned businesses that represent the community in their own unique way. Listen to their voices and read more about them on their websites/pages. Their brands are dreams brought to life and shared with the world.
