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!
