Easter is a big celebration in many Black Households. We love any reasons to be able to get together for nicely cooked meals and the extra time allowed from many work schedules. With family and friends gathering, it is a great opportunity to share some new Black Owned Brands with them. You can get started with our list of Black Owned Brands for Easter right here and then search through the rest of our directory for great unique new businesses. Let us know if you’ve tried any of these brands (and leave a review on their page) and also comment with any ideas we might have overlooked.
