Based in Oakland, California, the winery brought Robin and Andr\u00e9a together after nearly half of their lives, where they created the McBride Sisters<\/a> Wine Collection. Since its inception, it has become the largest African-American-owned wine company in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chocolatier and Chef, Phillip Ashley<\/a> Rix, has been named the \u201cReal-life Willy Wonka\u201d by Forbes Magazine as he crafts the most beautiful and delicate chocolates, available to be shipped right to your door!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Produced and bottled right in the heart of Brooklyn, Courage + Stone Cocktails<\/a> features a line of high-quality, ready-to-drink cocktails that taste perfect every time.

She created a platform to share the vast creativity and talent of these African communities that are otherwise under-represented and hard to access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n YOWIE<\/a> is a home and life shop, brand, and design studio that started online in 2016 by Shannon Maldonado and has since grown into a storefront located in South Philadelphia. The brand was founded on the idea that art and design can connect people near and far through curating small collections from friends, independent artists, and designers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What started out as a lifestyle blog in 2009 by designer and artist, Justina Blakeney<\/a>, soon became a bohemian home goods destination, inspiring all to bring more color and nature into the home. Jungalow\u2019s<\/a> shop features signature collections designed in Los Angeles by Justina herself, as well as curated, colorful goods from all around the globe. Not to mention, in the past year, they\u2019ve donated to a number of non-profit organizations they believe in, including ACLU, Girls Who Code, The Rainforest Alliance, and The National Organization for Women. She’s also the writer of one of our all-time favorite coffee table books and New York Times best-seller, “The New Bohemians<\/a>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a certified B-Corp, Goodee<\/a> fuses together good design and good purpose, meaning every single item offered on their website is ethically made and transparently sourced. Designers, creative directors, and twin brothers, Byron and Dexter Peart, curate funky home goods that each tell an authentic, meaningful story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Paige’s Candle Co<\/a> was created by Paige Graham, a born and raised New Yorker.

Though luxury ties have always been their bread-and-butter, Michel Men<\/a> has added handmade face masks to their offering, which you may have spotted in Vogue, GQ, Poosh, or Refinery29. Twenty percent of each purchase goes towards The Dream Defenders, which provides support to the homeless population in Miami during COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n BLK MKT Vintage<\/a> is comprised of an unending collection of vintage finds and collectibles that highlight the richness of black history.
