 Your everyday purchases have power—real power. While protesting, volunteering, and donating to social justice organizations are vital ways to support the Black community, there’s another meaningful action you can take daily: being intentional about where you spend your money.

Supporting Black-owned businesses isn’t just about making a purchase—it’s about helping build generational wealth, strengthening local communities, and challenging systemic inequities that have historically made it harder for Black entrepreneurs to thrive. Despite Black Americans making up about 14% of the population, only about 3% of businesses are Black-owned. And these businesses often face steeper challenges, from securing loans to recovering from economic downturns.
