Amazing Black Owned and People of Colour Businesses to Support in South Africa

If you want to be more intentional about where you spend your money, here are some Black Owned and People of Colour Businesses to Support in South Africa.

There are many ways to support the struggle against police brutality. You can donate money to an organisation. You can sign as many petitions as you can find. (some of them do actually make a difference).

You can protest, educate yourself and, if you are white, talk to other white people about racial justice. Stand up for what you believe in.

However, one of the most direct ways to support the black community (as well as other people of colour) is to support their businesses.

Racial and gender equity will only happen when we are all intentional about supporting one another.

I will continue to update this Black Owned and People of Colour Businesses list as time goes on, you are welcome to leave me suggestions in the comments!

Thanks for reading this article on Black Owned and People of Colour Businesses to Support in South Africa.
