Buy Black-Owned On Black Friday

Every year, Black Friday is a fantastic chance to score bargains, but also support companies who share our values. This year, we encourage you to think about purchasing from Black-owned companies rather than going directly to big-box retailers. By doing this, local economies are boosted and Black businesses are given more prominence and empowerment. Here is a list of Black-owned e-commerce companies for each letter of the alphabet.

Black Friday shopping helps build community wealth by creating jobs and supporting families. It promotes diversity and representation by bringing unique perspectives to the market. Black-owned businesses often emphasize quality and craftsmanship, reflecting personal passion and cultural pride. Supporting these businesses on Black Friday helps break barriers for Black entrepreneurs, who have historically faced funding and resources issues. By buying from these businesses, Black communities can benefit from increased opportunities for success and contribute to the overall economic growth of their neighborhoods.
