"I believe our people are doing more research on our history,” said Hope McGill, 42. “We are taking so much more pride in our ancestry and seeking ways to show it off,” the owner of Beaded By Hope expressed. This Harlem based Black business has acquired consistent sales from customized jewelry for the past three years. As protests continue against injustices of all Black lives, Black-owned businesses are seizing opportunities to sell their products. The BB Plug, an online marketplace, exclusively caters to Black entrepreneurs and business owners.
