Supporting Black-Owned Businesses in the DMV

With COVID-19 affecting the lives of millions across the globe, supporting locally-owned businesses is more important now than ever before.

How Supporting Small and Locally-Owned Businesses Benefits Our Communities:

  • They are owned by our neighbors

  • Provides jobs to our friends and families

  • Improves the local economy

  • You get to know the people behind the product

  • Keeps your community unique

  • More personalized space 

  • Local Business Owners invest in the community

  • Competition and Diversity leads to More Consumer Choices

Local businesses also allow you to actually know the people behind the product, a connection you would not otherwise have by simply shopping from Amazon. Supporting local black-owned businesses not only brings money back into the communities but also allows us to celebrate black culture.

Our team has made a list of some amazing black-owned businesses in our area that you should check out and support.


You will not regret it!
