Black-Owned Businesses to Support
AmplifyI’m excited to share with you guys the black-owned businesses I’ve been learning more about. I feel inspired by each of these brands and the creativity they lend. Here are some of my favorites from fashion, beauty, home and art – we’re hoping to include a lot of these in Happily Grey Store. I’m realizing more and more just how important it is to have different voices and perspective as a business owner and creator.
Please send more recs our way- we’re committed to diversity!!
