This February will be the first Black History Month since the Black Lives Matter movement last May, following George Floyd’s death. The past year has taught us, more than ever, that raising awareness and support for our Black communities should be made a top priority. With Black History Month here, there’s no better time than right now to support Black-owned businesses and help them through the disproportionate impact they have faced due to the pandemic.
Black History Month is not only about celebrating Black heritage and culture, it’s also about uplifting the Black community in every aspect possible, including Black-owned businesses.
