Meet 30 Black Owned Businesses You Can Support In 2021

This year we have seen an unprecedented amount of focus on the Black community in various countries around the world after the tragic death of George Floyd. There has been significant support across business, politics, and media however to drive the equality desired many of these efforts will have to continue beyond 2020.

One of the most impactful ways to positively impact these communities is through supporting businesses founded by black founders who can then positively impact their communities. Alongside Raphael Sofoluke, Founder and CEO of the UK Black Business Show, I have selected 30 Black-owned businesses—across a range of industries and sizes—positioned to grow and do well in 2021 that you can support.
