‘Tis the season to spread joy, not germs! It’s no secret that this year has felt like, well, an entire decade. For many of us, 2020 was a year of trial, hardship, and loss, while also a year of activism, education, and growth.

Carry that energy and enthusiasm for supporting minority and Black-owned businesses into the holiday season with these products perfect for a little well-deserved winter wellness.
What says winter wellness more than a home cooked meal? Our Place is a minority and female-founded business that invests in ethical labor, responsible materials, and amazing missions.
