BLACK OWNED BUSINESS PART 2: RETAIL

There has been a lot of talk about supporting Black-owned businesses as of late. It is true that it is needed now more than ever, but the truth is, we should be supporting our local Black-owned businesses every day, not just in this time of need. We covered Black-owned restaurants 2 weeks ago, and this week we put together this handy listing, to help change our shopping habits and to support minority employers.
