The Importance of Supporting Black-Owned Businesses
Although Madame C.J. Walker became the first self-made female millionaire in America by creating hair and beauty products for black women in the early 1900s, the black hair market has been dominated by brands owned by people outside of our community. However, in recent years, we’ve seen many more companies enter the industry that are owned by black entrepreneurs, and it’s important for us to help them carry on Madame Walker’s legacy.
“This is a time to be intentional about strengthening Black businesses and other institutions, and it’s a simple thing anyone can do.”
Tayo Giwa , owner of Black-Owned Brooklyn
When you support black-owned businesses, you’re not only putting money in the pockets of the business owners; you’re also helping to support black communities. Your support can help close the racial wealth gap, strengthen local economies and celebrate the black culture.
