https://webuyblack.com/ & more New Way to Support Black Business-Important During This Time

On a recent Zoom call of Cornell Alumni we discussed how African American businesses and the arts were getting hit hard during the shutdown. Finding ways to support these businesses is important to our community. One of the ways discussed was this website, similar to Amazon that sells toothbrushes, cleaners, clothes, jewelry, etc. The speaker spoke of using this site to purchase supplies for his wife's dental office as well as purchasing watches for himself. I haven't tried it yet, but if you have, let me know at donna.blackshear.reynolds@gmail.com -- and let me know if you'd be ok to add your comment to the blog! I was so excited about this idea had to share!

This site https://webuyblack.com/ also has a blog that I found very interesting and they offer opportunities to add your store to the site. https://webuyblack.com/

Also there is a movement to purchase from black owned restaurants during this time as well. As well make donations to arts organizations - dance companies, theater, etc.
