HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE - 2021 -
Don’t believe the hype when it comes to the finances and spending power of the African American and Afro-Latino population in the United States of America our community spends trillions of dollars year after year.
But the sad part is that our money only circulates six hours in the African-American community, compared to 20 days in a Jewish community and 30 days in an Asian community (updated, January 25).
Now with the holiday season upon us with #BlackFriday leading the way
https://bit.ly/3kFwNuh we have the opportunity to support US Black-owned businesses #BuyBlack Friday Show and one way to discover those brands is to check out Facebook Shop tab, hosted by NY Times best-selling author, journalist, and television host, Elaine Welteroth, with new episodes every Friday in November — https://bit.ly/3ccYhmu .
More than 15 million people tuned into the show last holiday season, which includes Live Shopping experiences that celebrate Black culture and feature Black-owned small b
usinesses and creators. This year, #BuyBlack Friday will be global with programming kicking off in Brazil and Australia this month.
Here is part one of a six-part series of my annual Holiday Gift Guide. I’ve tried all of these products and these are the ones that made my list.

FASHION
AVIEW — www.aview.com
The key is a spectrum of color and AVIEW is built upon the creative premise of seeing the world differently. With their innovative and disruptive patent-pending slip-in lenses, you can easily go from seeing the world through yellow lenses to rose to blue, black, brown, green, and back again. The year was 1665. The disruptor was Isaac Newton. The innovation was “modern color theory.” Inspired by Isaac Newton passing white light through a prism, AVIEW created interchangeable lenses so that as your emotive spectrum changes throughout the day, so can your lens color.
#AVIEW #withAview #CustomizeUrEyes #FreeTheWayYouSee #InterchangeableSunglasses are some of our favorites!
