As part of our renewed commitment to amplifying Black voices within our community, we’ve created a directory of Black-owned businesses that you can support in eight different categories—Food & Drink; Professional Services; Personal & Professional Development; Health, Wellness & Fitness; Beauty; Retail; Home & Auto Services; and Child & Adult Care.
These recommendations are a collaboration of our own recent reflection and research, a deep dive into our past editorial coverage, feedback from readers and conversations with community leaders.
We acknowledge that this list is far from complete, but we hope that you’ll use it as a jumping-off point. Please reach out to us with your own business recommendations, or if you notice any inaccuracies, as we will be adding to and editing this page frequently moving forward. Email editor@lehighvalleystyle.com with your thoughts and suggestions.
