This Juneteenth is all about economics over here! Although today is a celebration of freedom from slavery, Black America cannot be truly liberated without economic equality. As the U.S. still has yet to account for its original sins (I speak for my Native + Indigenous brothers & sisters here too) and give Black descendants of American slaves reparations, this Juneteenth I want to encourage everyone to start supporting & investing in Black owned businesses and creators. This is a way of helping to create a more equitable future for Black Americans. Below is a list of 32 Black Owned businesses & creators who I have invested in and/ or supported, as well as 2 B.O.B.’s on my radar as I stack some coins just for them!
Happy Juneteenth Y’all!
