Having trouble finding a gift that's as great as your best friend? We've got a few options these Black women owned businesses!
11 Black-Owned Gift Ideas For The Friend Who Has Everything
By Essence · Updated November 25, 2020

Twenty-twenty has been a year like no other! As we start planning for the holidays, it’s important to remember that there is still much to celebrate.

We have an opportunity—even in these less than ideal social and economic conditions—to invest in advancing economic equality in our communities. On the front lines of building the economic engines of our communities, New Voices Family* companies are working to create, grow and scale businesses. 

We urge you to support these Black women owned businesses this holiday season and throughout the year.

*Essence Communications Inc. is proud to partner with New Voices Foundation, a 501(c)3 organization to support Black women entrepreneurs.
