Black Business Month: A Makerhoods Celebration
Join us in celebrating National Black Business Month during August to recognize the importance of Black-owned businesses to local communities and to the national economy. These businesses are creating new pathways for economic opportunity and generational wealth in the Black community.
There are many ways to recognize and support these businesses within your own community and around the world. Whether you share a Black-owned business on social media or directly buy their products—all support matters!
Beyond the “Shop Black” campaigns and trending Instagram hashtags, many Black-owned businesses are thriving! We would love to highlight a few of the many businesses on Makerhoods Market!
