Hello friends!
Long time no see! Please excuse my absence. Life has gotten in the way and to be quite honest I have not been feeling super creative lately but I plan on scheduling time to create posts and Christmas content in the next couple of days so stay tuned!
With that being said we are now in the Black Friday Weekend/Cyber Monday frenzie. I personally don’t care about Black Friday (due to the historical context attached to it and also as a Canadian I don’t even understand why we suddenly fell for this marketing scheme ways..) but if I were going to shop it would definitely be for the following Black owned and BIPOC brands below.

SPECIAL MENTION
I wanted to add HUDA BEAUTY as a Special Mention for this post. I appreciate her activism and constant support to the Palestinian cause. Please make sure to head over her website this weekend and to buy her makeup directly from her.

Now there are WAY more designers, jewellers and makeup brands that I wanted to include but you’d be seating here reading this entire post for hours! I included some of my faves and hope you enjoyed my recommendations!
With love,
MNJA
