Black-Owned Businesses for Kids and Families

Author: one tough job

The Children’s Trust and one tough job are committed to the fight against racial inequity in both Massachusetts and nationwide. Doing so means also addressing the economic manifestations of racism: Black-owned businesses have historically faced restricted access to funding and lower representation at national retailers. With the spread of the coronavirus disproportionately impacting Black-owned businesses, there is no better time than now to consider purchasing from Black entrepreneurs.

While this list is by no means comprehensive, it should serve as a starting point in identifying Black-owned businesses that provide products families already use. More resources can be found here.
