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'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.
