It’s almost with sad irony that only a year after we wrote last year’s 10+ Black Owned Businesses You Can Support on #BlackonBlack Friday, shortly after the verdict of Mike Brown, we’re mourning the execution of Laquan McDonald. As always, we support and promote the patronage of black owned businesses as a show of economic force and that we, as People of Color, possess power that can effect change.

If you’ll be participating in #BlackonBlackFriday or #BoyCottBlackFriday again this year, here are ANOTHER 10 black owned businesses (many of which are personal favorites) you can look to instead:

1. Naturally Perfect Dolls:

   

    It’s a wonderful time for our children to have dolls that reflect their hair textures and melanin. Naturally Perfect Dolls produces realistic dolls for People of Color, with a full head of 18 inch hair that can be washed, manipulate and styled like the hair straight from our roots.
2. Lunaversoul Jewelry:

   

    One of a kind jewelry decadent in silver and gold, Lunaversoul is an up-and-coming etsy shop with one of a kind accents for every jewelry lover.
3. TonyWuu Collection:

    When is it time to make your mark? Talley & Twine Watch Company brings you effortless chic in watches that are one of a kind and unique. Who doesn’t need a good watch?
5. Fanm Djanm:
   
   

   

   
   
    The literal translation means “strong woman”. Cover up those curly coifs with these African inspired head wraps, clothing and jewelry to celebrate strong women everywhere.
6. Eden Body Works
