A List of Black-Owned Businesses in DC, Maryland, and Virginia
Now more than ever it is important to support small businesses. In particular black-owned businesses tend to build their companies from the ground up, with nothing but their personal savings. Often times any profits are reinvested back into the business. With the onset of the pandemic, current protests, property destruction, and violence, we must take care of those things we hold dear, and for me that is small businesses, specifically black-owned businesses.
I’ve compiled a list of black-owned businesses across Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia as a resource for myself and anyone else who wants to support a black-owned business.
*Note: This is not a comprehensive list. I will be updating the list regularly and adding more businesses as my research continues and as I receive suggestions from all those using this list as a resource. Please feel free to comment with suggested additions. Additionally, though my list will include restaurants, please visit Feed the Malik for a growing list of DC’s Black-Owned Restaurants Open During COVID-19.

In the great scheme of things you actually receive a B- just for hard work. Exactly where you lost me personally was on all the details. As they say, the devil is in the details… And it could not be much more true right here. Having said that, let me tell you exactly what did deliver the results. Your authoring is actually pretty powerful which is probably the reason why I am taking an effort in order to comment. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Next, even though I can easily notice a leaps in logic you make, I am not really confident of how you seem to connect the ideas which in turn make your final result. For now I shall subscribe to your issue but wish in the foreseeable future you link your facts much better.

Howdy would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with? I’m looking to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a tough time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique. P.S My apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
