Small Businesses To Support During the Pandemic and Beyond!

Here is a reference of several small businesses that I frequent year round and I’d love for you to join me in supporting them! Each of these brands is either Black owned, has a Black CEO, or is showcasing diversity,inclusion in marketing and company hiring structure, or is showing support for the Black community by putting their money where their mouth is.
