It is officially time: Black Friday — or “Black-owned Friday,” as many like to refer to it (including theGrio) — is upon us. With her own rendition of the song “100% Pure Love,” Keke Palmer ushered in the annual shopping event earlier this week, highlighting Black-owned brands worth checking out this Black Friday. In that same spirit, theGrio Lifestyle team wants to make shopping for Black-owned brands this Black Friday even easier with our curated suggestions.
While many brands and stores began their savings as soon as November started, there are still plenty of upcoming deals from Black-owned brands to take advantage of.
