SUPPORT BLACK-OWNED BUSINESSES
There are many things we can do to support Black people & communities (see my BLM story highlight on Instagram). One way is by spending your money with Black-owned businesses.
Here’s a list of some of the London, black-owned, vegan (or very vegan-friendly) independent food businesses I know of. I put a call out on my Instagram and this list is a collaborative effort of my research and all of the comments people left on my post. Thanks to everyone who helped!
