With all that is going on right now, it has come more important that the ultimate tool we have is make sure our dollars are going to the places we want the most. I know for me, “Buying Black” has always been a major part of my buying habits. Whether it’s supporting events, beauty products, hair products, and as many items from a black owned store that I can. This Juneteenth weekend and from now on, we have to be very intentional of where we spend our money.
