Black Businesses Matter.

We stand in solidarity against racism, ignorance, and injustice.

We stand with our fellow Black artists, creators, makers, storytellers, chefs, entrepreneurs, and the entire Black community.

We see the pain, the unrest, and are heartbroken that this is still an issue, after hundreds of years. We are here to learn, by listening, and educating ourselves so that we can be better allies, because Black Lives Matter!

If you don't know where to start, start by supporting Black-owned businesses.

---

A few months ago, we wrote a blog post for Black History Month showcasing 29 local, Black-owned businesses here in Durham, NC. Since then, our community has voiced their support for even more, and it's time that we update that original list and expand well beyond 29, because we can do better. This blog post will be continuously updated as we research and discover Black-owned businesses, artists, and makers that make up Durham. Thank you for introducing us to some new faces and helping us showcase and support even more Black greatness in our community.

Each entry below is linked to the business' social media. Simply click the linked business name to be taken to their page on a separate window. We encourage you to take the time to follow and support these Durham Black-owned businesses, artists, creators, makers, chefs, writers, doctors, activists.
