important!! Black-owned businesses and creators to support

here’s a list of Black-owned businesses and creators i’ve compiled to support not only today, but also everyday. we need to use our power as consumers to support brands and businesses whose values and practices we wholeheartedly agree with.

if you have any companies or creators to add, don’t hesitate to reach out! you can reach me by email or instagram direct message. this is by no means a complete list, and there’s always room to recognize more brands and creators. i don’t intend to stop adding to this list any time soon, and i’d definitely encourage you to purchase from some of the brands below if you’re financially able to.
