That’s why I’m thrilled to participate in Google’s fifth annual Black-owned Friday campaign. Created in partnership with the U.S. Black Chambers, Inc., this initiative celebrates Black-owned businesses and encourages everyone to search, shop and support Black-owned companies. I’ve witnessed firsthand the power Black-owned businesses have to foster vibrant communities, and how much community support means to entrepreneurs like me.

As one way to support Black-owned Friday, watch creators Druski, GloRilla and Jayda Cheaves explore Black-owned businesses (including mine!). Directed by award-winning filmmaker Rodney Lucas, the video showcases fantastic businesses and products, and invites everyone to share the businesses they love.
