Some Black Retailers We Can Pour Our Black Bills Into
Last year, I became more conscious of how I spend my money. I realized how much power the black dollar has and became very passionate about supporting more black businesses. Before last year, I shopped black businesses but it wasn’t as intentional. Also, like most of you know, I started a series on my platform where I interviewed over 17 black girl bosses. I've loved connecting with the ambitious and talented woman over the year. If you've missed any of them, click here to watch. At first, I wanted to share 21 female businesses, but I realized there's black men who are killing it too. Juneteenth was on Saturday and to kick off the first nationally recognized one, I wanted to share some black retailers. There's thousands of black businesses out there for you to shop. Make sure you expand your horizons and shop with them. By supporting more Black-owned companies, you can help create more opportunities for meaningful savings, property ownership, credit building, and generational wealth for black communities. It's time to close the racial wealth gap. Black entrepreneurs are breaking new barriers. There are over 2 million black businesses in the country and today, we are highlighting 21, not in any particular order.
