Celebrate Juneteenth by Supporting Black-owned Brands

Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the confederate states on June 19, 1865. Although the Emancipation Proclamation ended slavery in 1863, it would take two more years for this news to reach the deepest parts of the South. This coming Monday, June 20, 2022, will be the second Juneteenth officially recognized as a federal holiday in the U.S.

As a minority-owned media outlet, we fully support small and family-owned businesses. Our gift guides mainly focus on fresh small businesses and trending family-owned brands.

In observance of Juneteenth, we celebrate by recognizing the following incredible Black-owned brands. They are created by fearless and inspiring business owners and innovators.
