February is Black History Month, and you can celebrate by participating in the Buy Black Challenge. The Black History Month Buy Black Challenge encourages you to focus on supporting black-owned businesses during the month of February and beyond by familiarizing yourself with black-owned businesses, especially local ones. Start taking note of how often you are supporting black-owned businesses, and be intentional about buying from some of the many black business-owners and entrepreneurs that deserve your support.
Supporting black-owned businesses during Black History Month and throughout the year helps close the racial wealth gap in the United States and allows small, black-owned businesses to flourish. It also encourages representation of black business-owners and entrepreneurs and increases familiarity with their businesses’ cultures and missions. By being intentional about supporting black-owned businesses, you can contribute to job creation that combats high unemployment rates for black Americans and closes the racial unemployment gap in the US. Supporting local black-owned businesses can foster local job creation and financial stability in communities near you, and Black History Month is a great time to start.
