These Black-Owned Etsy Shops Are Creating Fire Fashion & Beauty Products
Not me about to buy six body scrubs.
There is absolutely no denying that supporting Black-owned businesses should be a year-round activity for everyone. Pledging your support to small, Black-owned businesses — and bookmarking their shops to continue that support all the time — is a straightforward way to lift up Black creators. Due to the fact so many small businesses have taken a hit during the ongoing lockdown, sifting through and purchasing from the amazing Black-owned shops on Etsy can make a vital difference.
Etsy is overflowing with one-of-a-kind, handcrafted items from a wealth of Black creators. Developing custom pieces requires a significant amount of time and energy, and buying from Black Etsy shops, if you have the means to, pours resources back into their businesses to help ensure they can continue doing so. If you don't have the funds to support small, Black-owned businesses financially right now, following them on social media, posting about them on your own accounts, and leaving positive reviews on the things you have purchased and loved gets more eyes on their work and is just as valuable.
As people across the globe continue to protest the racial injustices Black people face and actively educate themselves on becoming anti-racist, it's crucial to continue doing the work to be an ally. In addition to listening intently to what the Black community has to say, consuming valuable resources and text on being anti-racist, voicing your support in whatever way you can, and donating to support Black communities, consider purchasing from one of these small, Black-owned Etsy shops today, tomorrow, and any day after that. We'll continue updating this list with even more shops deserving of your attention.
