10 Black-Owned Businesses For Your Leisurely Summer Shopping

There are countless ways that we need to support the Black Lives Matter movement — some requiring more effort than others. But one thing we are going to do anyways is spend money, so why not spend that money more purposefully? I'm sure you've come across lists of Black-Owned restaurants in your city. The practice of intentionally supporting businesses that are owned by minorities is essential in attempting to reduce the racial gap in America's economy. Research shows that Black-Owned enterprises are much less likely to succeed in America compared to those owned by whites. Similarly, there are far fewer of them; only 9.5% of all U.S. businesses are owned by African-Americans. When it comes to casual shopping, many Black-Owned businesses could just be local stores in your neighborhood as opposed to retail chains. However, you can find certain products sold at retail giants such as Target that come from Black-Owned businesses — you just need to be able to identify them. The following list provides online stores and companies that are convenient, affordable, and Black-Owned.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
