TikTok | Support Black Businesses


SBB / 2021
From TikTok


“The thought and careful consideration behind how we choose to curate this partnership stems from generations of economic hardships for Black entrepreneurs and more specifically Black people. Our goal as marketers and partners is to ensure that the story told reflects the continued fight that small Black own businesses continuously face for representation and equity. Everything down to the number of participants, to the typeface of specific logos and the color ways for merchandise and material has been carefully crafted. Our goal is to amplify the history behind “40 acres and a Mule” alongside the strides that Black own businesses have made thus far.
