5 Black-Owned Beauty Brands to Support Right Now
We're living through a major historical civil rights movement right now.
The entire United States and beyond has taken to the streets, protesting the unlawful acts of police brutality against African Americans, most notably George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery.
The world has taken notice that we need to end to systemic racism with reform and diversity, both in government and in the representation of black-owned businesses and creatives. Ahead, we're rounding up the most aspirational Black-owned beauty businesses so you can support female-led brands.
