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.

My site goes over a lot of the same subjects as yours and I think we could greatly benefit from each other. If you’re interested feel free to shoot me an e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you!

I wish to express thanks to this writer for bailing me out of this type of crisis. After searching through the online world and seeing principles which were not productive, I thought my life was over. Being alive devoid of the strategies to the issues you have resolved by means of this article content is a critical case, and the ones which might have adversely affected my entire career if I hadn’t come across your site. Your main natural talent and kindness in handling everything was helpful. I’m not sure what I would’ve done if I hadn’t discovered such a solution like this. I am able to now look forward to my future. Thank you so much for your skilled and amazing help. I will not hesitate to refer your blog to anyone who requires guidelines on this area.

Virtually all of whatever you assert is supprisingly accurate and it makes me wonder why I had not looked at this in this light previously. Your piece truly did turn the light on for me personally as far as this issue goes. However at this time there is one particular point I am not too cozy with and whilst I try to reconcile that with the core theme of your position, allow me see just what the rest of the readers have to say.Very well done.
