In honor of Black History Month I thought it would be a great idea to highlight and support black owned businesses in the wellness industry this week! When we support black owned businesses we’re not only supporting their actual business but it helps raise awareness, it celebrates their successes, and helps to recognize contributions to their communities as well!
Fun Fact: Between February 2020 and August 2021, Black-owned businesses increased by nearly 40 percent. (Study by Merchant Maverick) You can read the full article here.
This proves that although the pandemic was extremely difficult to endure on so many levels, it still created opportunities for many entrepreneurs.
Here are some of some black-owned businesses in the wellness industry you can support! Some I use personally and some I have on my list!! Remember, even if you can’t buy from them you can always share, like, and comment on their socials for support and engagement to help increase awareness!! There’s always a way!
