Hi babes! I know it’s been a minute but I wanted to check in with you guys. It’s such a sensitive and vulnerable time right now overall but especially for our black sisters and brothers and it is my intention to spread some light and love and to offer my support in any way possible. So, I’ve decided to shoutout 7 awesome black owned businesses that are local to Denver in hopes that I might shed light on different ways that we can come together and show support.
