With the recent end of Black History Month and the start of Women’s History Month, what better time to curate a list of black women owned businesses to shop from. Though no matter the month, we should be supporting black women artists and black women owned businesses year round!
1. helloeana on Etsy – If you are that person that can’t leave the house without a statement pair of earrings to complete your OOTD, this shop is for you. They sell minimalistic handmade polymer clay earrings in an array of colors, patterns, and styles. With over 500 sales and a five star rating, you can bet it is quality jewelry.

2. Nola Skinsentials (@nolaskinsentials on Instagram) – Want your skin to glow from within? This vegan, plant based, hand-crafted skincare line based out of Atlanta, not only sells bomb skincare but is eco-friendly, using only glass reusable packaging. I have personally purchased a multitude of their products (seriously, I need to be stopped) which are now all staples in my routine. Nola is constantly creating new collections and sets monthly featuring cleansers, masks, scrubs and more. In addition to this, they sell body products, men skincare, and sample sizes of almost all their products so you don’t have to commit to a full size product off the bat. Nola’s website has a skin quiz, the results tell you which of their products would work best for your skin type taking all the guesswork out.

3. Nomé (@nomeofficial on Instagram) – In 2020, crochet style clothing made a comeback from the 70s fashion trend but with a modern twist. Nomé sells handmade crochet style clothing; tops, sweaters, pants, shorts, dresses, sets, bathing suits, coverups, masks, and hats. The coolest part about this brand is that the owner, Naomi Marie has a YouTube channel (link in bio) with videos of tutorials on how to make crochet clothing!
