7 Black Woman-Owned Brands to Support Now & Forever
It’s no secret women (ehem, Black women) have been doing their thing! Whether it’s leaving their mark on the beauty industry or taking up space in the fashion world, black women all over are making their presence known. The amount of passion, creativity and drive that goes into their brands are remarkable and can be felt instantly.
As a black woman-owned brand, there's a sense of natural camaradarie that exists between us. Without speaking, we understand each others' challenges, we can relate to one another's stories and we know just how much really goes into putting every little piece together to make one grand statement. Over the last few months, there have been several black women-owned brands that have caught our eye. These brands are thoughtful, their stories are amazing and their products are out of this world.
Although March is dedicated to women and women’s history, here’s 8 Black Women-Owned Brands to Support Now…… and well, forever.
