Musings to support

Supporting the Black community and Black-owned businesses feels extremely important right now, but you should be committed to support them DAILY, and not just while it’s trending.

Whether you’re in the streets marching or amplifying your voice from home—let’s all be conscious of where we spend our money, the creators we engage with, and the media we consume.

Below, I am sharing a few of my favorite brands, records, and creators in the Black community that constantly keep me in awe.

Support them if you feel called to, if not, keep them in mind for later on:
