Empowering Change: African American-Owned Friday Unveils a New Era of Support and Community Upliftment"
Your hard-earned money is a force for change. As the holiday season approaches, let's make a conscious decision to amplify the impact of our spending by supporting Black and Brown-owned businesses—not just for a day but 365 days a year.
Black Friday looms, offering deals aimed at BIPOC consumers with a clear intention. To aid in discovering African-American businesses, Google, in collaboration with the US Black Chambers, Inc., has streamlined the search process.
In a groundbreaking collaboration, Google partnered with artist-entrepreneur Keke Palmer, giving birth to a transformative film that redefines the essence of Black Friday. Palmer's rendition of "100% Pure Love," now titled "Black-Owned Friday (100% Supporting)," featuring Crystal Waters, honors the song's legacy while showcasing 12 African American-owned businesses, 25 brands, and over 50 unique products nationwide.
"Known as Keke 'Keep A Bag' Palmer, I'm passionate about taking care of business. I love supporting small businesses, especially Black-owned ones," shared Keke Palmer. "So when Google approached me for their fourth annual Black-owned Friday campaign, my response was '100%.'"
Directed by Andre Muir, this film transcends the surface, spotlighting the vibrant spectrum of Black entrepreneurship across diverse industries and creative ventures.
"I aimed to adopt a grounded approach, emphasizing something more profound: the owners themselves," shared director Andre Muir. "For me, supporting Black-owned businesses isn't just a seasonal endeavor but a year-round commitment."
But beyond the limelight, this movement resonates with impassioned business owners like Diana Patricia Nembhard. As the co-owner of International Beauty Supply, Diana's fervent advocacy for sustained support of African-American-owned enterprises extends far beyond the holiday rush.
