Support looks a lot like community and it feels a lot like holding up the hands of our sisters and brothers. As makers, sometimes it can feel like you are out there all alone on an island.
So as many are pausing and allowing Black voices to be heard, we want to ensure that our black creatives are heard as well. As we all pause and reflect and fight for social justice, we want to be sure to expand our circles and invite others in.
Check out local makers and support them by:
- Make a purchase or two 🙂
- Follow them and engage with them by liking, commenting and sharing their content.
- Recommending them to friends and loved ones.
