Table Talk Tuesday . This is the number one question I get asked all the time . As if the understanding of black business cannot extend past apparel and beauty brands. #noshade . We are bigger than t-shirts, body butter, and beard oil. We make ice trays and toothpaste, trash bags, latex gloves, and dinnerware . The success of Black Wall Street, Rosewood, U Street DC, and every other thriving, self-contained black community, was based upon the diversity of services and products created in those same communities . Moral of the story, black owned brands are bigger than cultural identity in real time, used as a staple of "wokeness". . They are useful, sustainable products that can be used by everyone, everyday (not just during Black History Month). . Tag a #blackownedbusiness in the comments and shout them out. 📸@_styves 👦🏾@teamsuperhuman @iam_mr_king #morethantshirts #Kulturedkitchen #blackwallstreet #morethanamovement
