The holiday season is here and with it comes shopping! However, have you considered the buying power of the African American community? The Black community has a history of buying and spending money in America and this year is no different. The time to support Black owned businesses are here and is more crucial more than ever before as we need to keep the dollars in our community.

The holidays present not only a opportunity to shop til you drop but to spend much needed money to support black owned businesses more than that have suffered at the hands of the pandemic. Local black owned businesses in Tuscaloosa need your help to stay above water.

The internet has become the much needed ingredient to help black owned businesses who may not have a physical location. Many businesses provide products and services through online shopping stores. Before COVID-19, there were about 3% Black-owned businesses in the United States with more than 80% failing in the first few years. The term Buying Black has become a important call this year especially with the corona virus destroying Black-owned businesses.
