25 Black-Owned Small Businesses To Support

June 19, 2020 By Melanie No Comments

A few weeks ago, many of us participated in an online movement to “mute” our typical content and instead amplify melanated voices and Black-Owned businesses. Although that week has come to an end, I personally found it to be a big wake up call to how I can better use my platform to fight against injustice and promote inclusivity in the wellness industry.

With today being Juneteenth, a celebration I admittedly only learned about recently, I wanted to take this opportunity to highlight a few Black-Owned businesses I recently discovered and fell absolutely in love with.

With the pandemic wreaking havoc on the economy, supporting small businesses is even more crucial. I’m not suggesting that you need to give up shopping from larger stores, but if there’s an option to weave in more purchases from Etsy shops, local businesses and smaller brands, why not do that?

As Mashable shared: “By diverting your purchasing power to more Black-owned businesses, you’re not only helping to strengthen local Black economies — it can also contribute to shrinking the racial wealth gap, foster more job creation and help to hold larger companies accountable in regard to diverse representation.”

Along with actively seeking out small businesses to purchase from, we can also do our part to urge larger retailers to make shelf space for Black-Owned products. The 15 Percent Pledge is a petition to do just that and it’s a petition that I highly recommend checking out, signing and sharing.

About The Black-Owned Brands I’m Sharing

Some of the brands I’ve listed below I have already purchased from and you may have seen them on my Stories. Others are brands that I bookmarked to come back to and buy from later.

I know there are so many incredible roundups out there, but if you’re a fan of my personal style, home decor and wellness suggestions, I hope you’ll end up loving these brands as much as I do.

  • Golde: Brooklyn-based wellness brand specializing in superfood-based health and beauty products like face masks and smoothie boosters
  • Trade St Jam Co.: Vegan jam, handmade in small batches with minimal added sugar. Try a gift set to test out a few unique flavors (like Strawberry Chipotle Fig and Plum Rose)
  • Brooklyn Tea: Tea shop based in Brooklyn that offers a wide range of high quality, organic, and fair trade teas.
  • Partake Food: Gluten-free, vegan and allergy-friendly cookies in fun flavors like Birthday Cake and Ginger Snap
  • Pipcorn: Non-GMO popcorn snack made from heirloom kernels that create super small bites. They come in a range of flavors like kettle, ghee and cheddar
  • Honey Pot: Biodegradable, Cruelty-free, non-toxic and plant-based feminine care products that are made by women, for women.
  • PUR Home: Non-toxic and Eco-Friendly Laundry Detergent and Household Cleaners product line made from organic and plant-based ingredients.
  • Mented Cosmetics: Vegan, cruelty free, paraben-free, and nontoxic makeup products for women of all skin tones. Their nude lipsticks are one of their specialties, I bought their matte lipstick in Peach Please 
  • KNC Beauty: Paraben-free, cruelty free products to give your lips and skin a little TLC. Just like their signature all-natural, collagen-infused lip masks
  • Briogeo: Texture-specific hair products that are cruelty free and made with clean, ethically sourced ingredients; They also offer a hair quiz to help you find the products that would be right for your hair
  • The Lip Bar: Vegan, Cruelty-free beauty brand with a beautiful range of cosmetics designed for all skin tones
  • Gilded: Luxurious and beautiful body skincare with the most gorgeous marble dry brushes I’ve ever seen
  • Homebody: Non-toxic, colorful bath soaks made with CBD, natural botanicals and superfoods. All of the soaks look so pretty and are designed to reduce stress and relieve sore muscles
  • Harlem Candle Company: Beautiful handcrafted candles infused with Harlem history; includes a collection that turns into gorgeous cocktail glasses once the candle is used up
  • UnOrthoDoc Candles: Handcrafted candles made with 100% organic soy wax, 100% organic cotton wicks, and phthalate free fragrance oils for a clean, nontoxic burn
  • Plant Vessel: Gorgeous small batch ceramics made in Austin, Texas. Their collection includes mugs, planters and jars.
  • The Jungalow: The most beautiful array of bohemian style home decor such as colorful rugs, planters, wallpaper, bedding, and more.
  • Tal and Bert: Modern cement planters and candle holders that feature the most beautiful raw geode crystals.
  • Jane Dottie Vintage: Sustainable, vintage fashion and handmade accessories like these adorable satin scrunchies
  • Humans Before Handles: Super cute earrings and headbands, including the Monstera earrings I recently bought. Everything is under $50
  • R-KI-TEKT: Modern bohemian accessories, including a variety of amazing leather products like these leather clutches
  • Wellthy: Sophisticated jewelry made with conflict-free, recycled precious metals. Love their minimalist look and feel
  • Rebecca Allen: three classic shoe styles made in five nude shades, so that all women can find the perfect nude shoe for their skin tone
  • The Tiny Tassle: Super colorful tassel accessories, earrings, and clutches! Their products are so perfect for Summer and give all the tropical vibes
  • The World ByKwest: Semi-fine and gold jewelry inspired by world travel and created specifically to withstand workouts and an active lifestyle

As a continuation of this blog post, I’ve decided to restart my “Friday Favorites” series on my IG stories. Each week I’ll be sharing more small businesses I’m loving, with a primary focus on minority and women-owned brands.

If you have any favorite brands that you’d like me to feature, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

Sharing a different kind of #SelfCare Session with you all because it seriously did wonders for my self confidence and I am here to spill the tea!! 💛

I felt like pregnancy and postpartum aged me so quickly and the stress + lack of sleep + inflammation definitely manifested in the skin on my face looking ROUGH. I was seeing more fine lines, sun spots, redness and enlarged pores than ever before (that second photo has me feeling so exposed 🙈)

So when @laseredbykaitlyn reached out to tell me about Moxi and BBL laser treatments, I was immediately interested. I had heard great things about them before and although I was a bit skeptical at first, I knew it was worth a try 

Swipe through to see the whole journey from two sessions at @alluvionaesthetics — one round of just Moxi and one round of Moxi & BBL together. 

I am sooo beyond happy with the results and my skin looks so much healthier, younger and refreshed! I wanted to share with you all in case any of you are struggling with similar skin issues 💛✨

Let me know if you have any q’s!

Welcome to my morning bliss list ~ featuring five minute habits that spark all kinds of joy 💛

Mornings look a little different these days but I’ve noticed when I’m able to squeeze these 10 different things in my mental health is SO much better 

✨Swipe through my lil scrapbook and let me know which ones you also love incorporating into your #morningroutine ✨

10 Habits:

❣️Making my bed 
❣️Getting morning sunlight 
❣️Gratitude journaling
❣️Coffee in a cute cup 
❣️Skincare & Makeup routine 
❣️Positive Affirmations 
❣️Tending to my garden 
❣️Dressing for success 
❣️Never skipping breakfast

#Ad Self-Care morning routines are a little shorte
#Ad Self-Care morning routines are a little shorter these days and that just means I’ve learned to prioritize habits and products that go the extra mile to make me feel my best! ✨

One #healthyhabit I’m always working on, especially living in Colorado, is #hydration and that’s why I was SO excited to get my hands on @goultima’s NEW Collagen Defense! I mean… an electrolyte drink that keeps me hydrated AND has skin boosting benefits? Sign me up! 👏🏻🍓 

The Kiwi Strawberry flavor is so refreshing and the blend of Dermaval and Biotin helps to protect skin’s natural collagen & elastin plus support hair, skin and nails. The best part? It tastes amazing and has no sugar, calories, carbs or artificial sweeteners.

Head to my stories for the link and let me know if you’ll be trying this for yourself! 💕

A little reminder that your younger self would be
A little reminder that your younger self would be so PROUD of how far you’ve come and this life you are currently living is worth celebrating every. single. day. 💛

I’m someone who is always chasing new goals… and while I appreciate my willingness to hustle, I also know that without intentionally pausing to find gratitude in the present moment it can be far to easy to get used to the things you once were working so hard for. 

This morning, in the midst of my brain starting to spiral thinking about “what’s next” (and having a minor meltdown), I had a moment where I looked around and realized “wow, THIS life is exactly what you dreamed of years ago.” 

And if I look back on so many previous years of my life, I had countless other “aha” moments like that too. Many things that my younger self would have never dreamed possible, became a reality… sometimes in the smallest, most subtle of ways 

All this to say, it’s SO important to keep chasing your dreams. This world needs you. It needs you and your voice, your gifts, your talents and your unique perspective ☺️

Just don’t forget to pause every once in awhile and look around with gratitude for the life you are living right now too 💕

#Ford_Ambassador Welcome back to “romanticizing routines,” a mini series where I’m sharing different ways to find joy in the small, everyday moments. 💛

Today’s tip is all about leaning into seasonal joys and with it being early summertime that calls for gardening!🪏🪴🫜It’s times like these that I’m SO happy I have my 2025 @Ford Explorer® SUV because the cargo space is perfect for large hauls. 

The available feature back seats fold down with a touch of a button and it’s been a game changer for road trips and grocery shopping. In this case I was able to fill it with multiple bags of soil, a pot and lots of starter flowers, herbs and strawberries! 🍓🌼 

This is just the beginning of plenty more planting I plan on doing this season and I can’t wait to share more. I already know we’ll be spending lots of time out on our back porch, whether we are gardening, barbecuing, sipping coffee in the morning or hosting friends for dinner. 🍽️ 

Let me know if you want to see the start of my cut flower garden and maybe a full garden tour later this month!

Mondays are for matcha and I’ll be having this blueberry iced #matchalatte all summer long 🫐🩵

It’s so easy to make and tastes sweet & refreshing! Here’s a little step-by-step of how to make the BEST matcha at home: 

✨ sift 1 tsp ceremonial grade matcha powder to remove clumps 
✨ Pour 1/4 cup of hot water, ideally between 160-175 degrees Fahrenheit, over matcha 
✨ Using bamboo whisk, whisk vigorously in a W shape until microfoam forms 

For the blueberry portion, muddle fresh blueberries with blueberry syrup (or make a homemade blueberry syrup by heating blueberries with sugar, lemon juice and water over the stove)

Pour blueberry syrup in glass, add ice, pour in milk of choice and top with matcha for a beautiful layered effect 

Swirl and enjoy! 💙🦋
