Black Friday, Black Business: Support These Black-Owned Beauty Brands

Black
Friday is
nearly
here.
What
better
time
to
bring
awareness
to
these
flourishing

Black-owned
beauty
businesses
in
our
community
that
span
worldwide.
Check
out
a

list
of
our
favorite
Black-owned
beauty
businesses
to
support
this
upcoming
Black
Friday
inside.

Black
business
owners
make
up
about
10
percent
of
United
States
businesses
and
about
30
percent
of
all
minority-owned
businesses.
According
to
the
U.S.
Census
Bureau,
that
comes
up
to
approximately
two
million
companies
owned
by
African
Americans.
In
that
number,
nearly
40
percent
of
Black-owned
businesses
are
in
health
care
and
social
assistance,
repair
and
maintenance,
and
personal
and
laundry
service
industries.
Other
industries
include
advertising
firms,
auto
dealerships,
consulting
services,
restaurants,
barbershops
and
beauty
salons,
and
of
course,
clothing
companies.

The
city
which
houses
the
most
Black-owned
businesses
in
the
U.S.
is
New
York,
and
Atlanta
follows
closely
behind
it.
The
highest
ration
of
Black-owned
businesses
is
in
Washington,
DC
where
28
percent
of
all
businesses
are
Black-owned.
In
recent
years,
the
growth
of
Black-owned
skincare
line
Topicals
has
become
explosive.
With
a
multitude
of
products
and
partnerships
like
their
most
recent
campaign
with
multi-hyphenate
creative
and
director
Teyana
Taylor.

There
are
many
ways
to
observe
Black
Friday
and
to
consume
with
the
good
of
our
communities
in
mind.
The
most
important
way
is
to
support
and
encourage
Black-owned
businesses
in
your
community.
Depending
upon
where
you
live,
it
may
be
difficult,
but
challenge
yourself
to
only
spend
with
local
Black-owned
businesses
in
your
neighborhood.
If
you’re
shopping
online
for
something
specific,
maybe
ditch
Amazon
this
Black
Friday
and
find
a
Black-owned
business
that
sells
the
product
you
are
searching
for
and
shop
within
the
community
instead.

Little
things
like
this
make
a
world
of
difference
for
a
small
business
and
especially,
a
Black-owned
business,
which
makes
up
a
small
percentage
of
businesses
across
the
nation.
