Showing up for Black lives doesn’t stop at hitting the pavement and protesting. It also looks like dedicating your time, your listening skills, your social media platform, and your spending power to the cause. However you’re able to, showing up matters!
As a home and lifestyle brand, we wanted to take the time to shout out Black-owned businesses who offer amazing products and services for home, life, and wellness. Whether you buy a product, sign up for a class, or simply share on social media, your engagement can make a positive impact for business owners! Check out some of our favorite Black-owned lifestyle brands to support:
