GET REEL, DENISE

Good pitches are like IG Reels

Happy Juneteenth, everyone. I hope you have off today, so that we can take time to remember, celebrate, and honor the enslaved African Americans who were freed on this day, centuries ago. Please take the day to support small, BIPOC-owned businesses, learn more about how you can play an active role in inclusion, champion diversity, and spread awareness of anti-racist education.

Please consider donating to the 15% Pledge, a nonprofit that holds retailers accountable by challenging stores to dedicate at least 15% of their shelf space to Black-owned businesses.

Here are some of my favorite Black-owned businesses to support:

• Clare Paint

• Elan Byrd artwork

• Pretty Honest Candles

• Little Lovelies Studio

• Honey Pot Co.

• Jungalow

• Estelle
