Shop Local Guide: Black Fashion Businesses in Seattle
The beauty and fashion community is coming together this week to protest the racial injustice that continues to run rampant in our country. The time for action is now. Yesterday Glossier CEO Emily Weiss announced that the company will donate $500,000 to organizations combating racism and an additional $500,000 in grants to black-owned businesses in support of the Black Lives Movement. This money will be used to help brands who need investment to grow and provide opportunities for emerging brands who can benefit from Glossier’s large platform to reach new customers.
You too can vote with your dollars by spending money at Black-owned businesses in the community. Here’s a round-up of Black-owned beauty and fashion brands in Seattle.
