Week 5 Action Steps

1. SHOP BLACK-OWNED BUSINESSES

   Black entrepreneurs often have difficulty finding funding and loans. Now they are being especially hard hit from the effects of COVID-19.  As you prepare for holiday shopping, consider purchasing from Black-owned businesses. As an example, many people find Etsy.com a fun place to shop for holiday gifts and you can search for Black-owned businesses on their site.  Get started with your holiday shopping by clicking here.
