Shop Small (& Black-Owned) This Holiday Season ❄️

9/5/2020

0 Comments

 
It's important to shop Black throughout the year, especially during the holiday season.  During this time of COVID-19, it's even more important that we support Black-owned businesses. Large or small, supporting Black-owned businesses means we can help keep their business open, support those who look just like us and pour into our own communities. 

Times are tough and spending $$ on the "non-essential" items may be difficult so feel free to interact with the businesses on social media. Just by liking, commenting or sharing a post (or website) from Black-owned businesses can help.
