February is Black History Month. It’s also a great time to start shopping some of our favorite products from Black-owned brands—and continue to all year.
Shopping Black-owned businesses and turning to products from Black-owned brands is definitely not the only way to support the Black community, but it is a great step. Of course, you’re putting money directly towards supporting small businesses, which is always a win. Not only that, but by buying products from Black-owned brands, you’re also directly supporting more than just the brands. Black business owners, creators, employees, and consumers all benefit. How? By helping to redistribute resources and contributing to generational wealth. White businesses have always historically had more opportunities, starting with easier access to capital (and resulting in more opportunity for success and growth).
Obviously, our work doesn’t end with supporting Black-owned businesses. Donating to social justice organizations and educating ourselves continuously through anti-racist resources are also absolutely necessary. But it’s important to recognize the uphill battle Black entrepreneurs have faced and continue to face. Even just access to shelf space for products from Black-owned brands has been a massive issue. Organizations like the 15% Pledge are working with retailers to contractually commit 15% of their annual spend to Black-owned brands.
No matter what you’re looking for, from fashion, skincare, home goods, games, and tasty treats, there’s something for everyone in our list below. Your support can make a real tangible difference to these fantastic businesses. They’re some of our favorite products from Black-owned brands—not just for Black History Month, but year round. So get ready to do some serious scrolling, and remember to make sure you’re also seeking out Black-owned businesses in your own area!
