Supporting Black-owned brands this Black Friday is a meaningful way to invest in communities, celebrate diversity, and help close the racial wealth gap.

By shopping from these brands, you’re not just buying quality products but also fostering economic equity and empowerment for often underrepresented entrepreneurs.
