It’s Black Business Month, So Let’s Go Shopping and #BuyBlack!

August 18, 2023 at 6:49 PM PST

“Do you know what [this month] is?” Since 2004, August has been earmarked as an opportunity to celebrate Black business owners and entrepreneurs in. In honor of Black Business Month, Amazon has introduced an updated Buy Black Store, which this year is themed “Black Is Remarkable – A Celebration of Black Culture.”

The branded microsite delivers by not only showcasing dope brands and their unique wares; but also spotlighting the dedicated creatives and business mavens behind them. The site also leads to an Entertainment page, where shoppers can discover new authors, shows and films, and even merch from some of their faves; as well as a designated destination for Black business owners who might be interested in partnering with Amazon in the future.

Let’s be for real though: we were there to shop! Check out some of our favorite finds:

Trovety High Heel Wine Stopper Custom
Friend, if no one told you, it has been timeout for trying to preserve your favorite bottle of wine by fighting to re-insert its cork. Wine stoppers have been around for quite some time; but who says the functional things in your kitchen have to be boring? Certainly not the good folks at Trovety, who make all types of cute wine accessories, from Wine Rack Holders to Aerators. For us, however, it was all about using this cute pink stiletto to bring a little razzle to our wine parties.

In addition to helping you fight clutter and stay organized, the non-slip base ensures you won’t have to worry about damaging your prized surfaces either.

Dear Sally Two-In-One Under Sink Organizer
Our parasocial cousins may have deemed plastic bag hoarding to be an African-American tradition, but that doesn’t mean we have to make the messiness of it all part of our collective history! This beautifully crafted bamboo kitchen accessory can be mounted inside a cabinet door, on a wall, or wherever you most often find yourself reaching for plastic bags. The organizer features designated slots for plastic grocery bags and trash bags as big as 30 gallons. Go ahead and grab an extra one for your favorite auntie.

Beckon Ware Oven Safe Splatter Guard

Either way, Beckon Ware’s Splatter Guard is the answer to your prayers, allowing you to fry with abandon. And it does way more than that: this versatile tool can be used as a strainer, cooling mat, a pan steamer, and more.

Adding a nostalgic touch to an item we need is almost always a surefire way of beating out the competition. And this adorable makeup pouch/ “stuff” bag falls right into that category.
