2021 Black-Owned Gift Guide!

2021 Black-Owned Gift Guide!

It’s that time again! Our SEVENTH ANNUAL BLACK-OWNED GIFT GUIDE IS HERE!!!! This Black Friday, try and support a Black-owned business for all your gift-giving needs. For last years gift guide, click here. For the 2019 gift guide, click here. For the 2018 gift guide, click here. For the 2017 gift guide, click here. For the 2016 gift guide, click here. For the 2015 gift guide, click here.

Similar to previous lists, I kept every individual item listed under $100! Click on the links to be taken to the websites in order to peruse more yourselves: all businesses listed are Black-owned, and many are run by Black women, Black Americans specifically, manufactured here in the United States, and/or sustainably and ethically sourced with philanthropic causes attached to sales! Lots of new brands this year so check them out.

New category this year: For the Active!

[As always, this guide has been split into categories to make it easier to get through, but feel free to mix and match for the person in your life that fits all of (or none of!) these categories!]

 NOTE: If you try to open links and they don’t work, I would recommend trying to open it either in the tumblr app if you have it (if you are using a third party site) or through your internet browser. If worst comes to worst, copy + pasting the items in your search engine or highlighting, right-click and “searching in browser” option should also take you directly to the website! Tumblr made some changes recently that are terrible 🙄 I think they put a cap on how many links you can have in a post.

SUPER EXCITED to be a part of this amazing project from Music For Your Inbox!!! Been working on this for awhile and I am thrilled with how it turned out. More info available on their page: https://www.musicforyourinbox.com/december-2021

December 2021 — Music for Your Inbox

Carolyn Chen's playful piece, How to assemble a..., is performed as a metaphor for how we assemble as a group of people

Music for Your Inbox

Repost from @musicforyourinbox:

•

Our mail art this month is created by @sensei_aishitemasu , an artist, cultural critic, filmmaker, and writer whose work explores race, pop culture, social justice, political activism, and sociopolitical theories. We met Seren through @humanresourcesla ‘s Time Space Money residency, where she created two films, The [Black] Americans EXTRAS: Detroit and Five Years Since Ferguson. As we worked on Carolyn Chen’s piece for this month’s release and thought about the question of “how to assemble,” we realized Seren’s work in art, community building, and activist organization was an important extension to that question.

Seren has created an incredible piece of mail art that reimagines a paper fortune teller toy. Titled “How to assemble… a future,” it juxtaposes the childhood experience of hopefully dreaming about the future with adult contemplations about the future, which are oftentimes accompanied by a sense of dread.

We’re so honored to have her work in this month’s release and super excited to send it to you! The link to get the print/video pairing is in our bio 📄📬
