If we’ve learned anything over the last few years, it’s that if necessary social justice changes are going to happen, support of the Black community has to go far beyond attending protests and posting on social media. If you too are wondering what you can do as an ally beyond pressing the “post” button or making a donation, the answer is clear: support small, Black-owned businesses. There are so many incredible brands out there where you can shop for everyday staples—and use your dollars to give back to the community in the process. Frequenting local Black-owned businesses in your area is a great place to start, but there are also tons of options you can shop online right now.

We’ve rounded up 40+ BIPOC-owned brands—the majority of which are also owned by women—where you can purchase beauty and personal care products, clothing, jewelry, home decor, books, and so much more. So instead of placing yet another order at a big-box retailer, consider shopping at one of these small businesses instead.
