#Blacklivesmatter brought an important conversation around supporting black businesses. In this episode, we explain the origins of Black Wall Street and how it represents an important time for the emergence of the “Black economy” in America. Exploring how during the present time, a lot of big companies and notable individuals lent their voices into supporting and uplifting this cause. A few made huge differences and others pretended to care.The education a lot of us received via social media about White-owned companies profiting from Black faces and list of Black-owned vs White-owned hair company was not left out. Finally, we gave a shout out to some of our favourite Black-owned businesses both in the UK and across the diaspora.Our girl Nylah Natural hooked us up with a 30% discount for all our listeners.
