SUPPORT UK BLACK OWNED BUSINESSES

by Naomie White July 29, 2020

We stand in solidarity supporting the movement for equality & justice! Our heart goes out to the families who have lost lives due to police brutality, attacks and injustice. We firmly stand with the supporters who are marching for justice and peace, this fight is a constant battle and is one we are prepared to do for the future of our children and the world.

This is no time to sit down or denying this situation, it’s time to educate ourselves for something bigger, for acceptance, and to say a BIG NO TO RACISM.

If you would like to show your support to the black community of small business owners, below we have compiled a growing list for you to explore. (list will be updated periodically)

Remember we can show our support in many ways including purchasing, following or sharing!
