One topic that keeps coming up — whether at work or in my personal life — can basically be boiled down to "holidays already?!"

Welcome to our Black-Owned Business Favs of October!
As always, we're on a mission to spread some serious love for these awesome brands -- all Black-owned. You may recognize some from our Black-owned Business Directory and others are new gems that we discover along the way.
