For the past few days, the world has unified to support black people and black voices in the wake of a series of injustices perpetuated against people of colour in the USA. As more and more people wake up to the injustices black people face on a daily basis, it has also become more and more evident that we all need to make a conscious effort to support black people and black businesses all over the world, and the UK is no different. From fashion and beauty to travel and food, here are just a few of the black and African-owned businesses based in the UK that we think deserve your attention.
