This past week has been a helluva year. I took a long break from doing blog post, but want to get back to it especially if it can be beneficial to the cause and to Black Lives Matter. I’ve already shared an incredible list of Black Fashion & Accessories Brands to follow and support on instagram as well as a list of Black Content Creators to support as well. In addition to that I also posted a few Black YouTubers to check out and the comments alone contain over 50+ to support. So make sure to check out those 3 posts if you’re looking to support Black people in general. But todays post is all about my favorite Black Owned Beauty & Lifestyle Brands & Businesses. Please feel free to add your favorites in the comments or leave your own information if you are a Black Owned Beauty or Lifestyle Brand or Business.
