Supporting small businesses is important. Supporting small, Black-owned businesses even more so. Amazon has created an entire hub to showcase Black-owned and operated businesses that use the platform for selling their products and supporting Black voices. We took a look through everything they had to offer and found some of our favorite coffee, skincare, and fashion items to showcase.

BLK & Bold | Limu Ethiopia Single Origin

BLK & Bold’s dedication to coffee is unmatched. The brand prides itself on naturally processed beans as well as giving back to the community. A Certified B Corporation, 5% of profits from BLK & Bold’s profits go to support at-risk youth.

We could all use some help in the flavor department. This set features the brand’s chef-curated black truffle sauces, one Sriracha and one Ranch. It’s a mix of small batch ingredients and comes in its own gift box. This is the perfect thing to spice up anyone’s dinner. Just think of the possibilities! Pizza, veggies, fish, you name it.
