Shopping <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/24-black-owned-fashion-brands-to-shop-support" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Black-owned</a> didn't just end in 2020. August is officially Black-Owned Business Month, and it's crucial to keep uplifting these brands even when the month ends. The beauty industry still has work to do when it comes to inclusivity.
