The article emphasizes the importance of supporting small, minority-owned businesses, particularly in the wake of the pandemic that disproportionately affected Black-owned enterprises. Highlighting the vibrant fashion scene in Brooklyn, the article suggests shopping at various Black-owned retailers during Black History Month and throughout the year. Several unique establishments are showcased, such as Sincerely, Tommy and Style Eyes Optical, which offer curated fashion selections that enhance community identity and resilience. By intentionally choosing where to spend, consumers can contribute to the growth and stability of these businesses.
Covid-19 only enlarged existing inequalities for minority business owners, but it also shined a light on the power of being more intentional with where we spend our money.
We're spotlighting a selection of Black-owned, Brooklyn-based fashion retailers to shop during Black History Month and, more importantly, to support year round.
Since opening in 2014, Sincerely, Tommy has become a destination for Brooklynites and visitors of the borough, thanks to its expert curation and stylish environment.
Style Eyes Optical is a boutique specializing in statement-making eyeglasses and sunglasses, with each frame handpicked from independent labels to suit personal style.
