Small Shops to Support this Holiday
With just about everything closing in the midst of the current pandemic it’s a great time to support small businesses, and do some online shopping for Christmas. This year I encourage you to shop for holiday gifts from independent artists, small shops, Black owned businesses, and sustainable brands rather than big corporations. It’s a good time to get a head start on buying gifts to ensure they come in time. I’m rounding up my favorites here.
