During times like these, it’s important we uplift one another and our communities. Especially the small businesses that work hard to service us. As we practice social distancing, it’s easy to feel like there isn’t much you can do to help those around you. But, by simply investing in or spreading the word about up-and-coming brands you can make all the difference.
Whether it’s an all-natural line that supports hair health and growth, or CBD-infused products to help you de-stress through the uncertainty. These women-led, black-owned beauty and wellness brands are the real deal, and I figured what better time than now to show them some love!
