Celebrating Black History Month|Supporting Black Owned Businesses

February is Black History Month and even though I believe Black History is American History and should be celebrated all year long. February is the designated month to highlight and acknowledge the contributions of Black people in America.

True equality is something that we are still striving for in this country. So to celebrate I wanted to highlight some of my favorite everyday products that are Black Owned and/or Founded.

First up is a local plant shop called Tansy. It’s a local small business with an array of plants. You can view my IG-REEL here.

We purchased our first plant babies a money Tree and a Fern 

Black Owned & Founded Brands at Target

One of the things I love about Target is that you can look on their website or app and identify Black-Owned brands by their icon on the products details section.

It’s important to celebrate the achievements of Black Americans in this country and to contribute to their economic growth. Below are two more ways that I am supporting and educating myself. What are some are your favorite Black-Owned brands?
