As it& #39;s #BlackPoundDay https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✊🏿" title="Erhobene Faust (dunkler Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Erhobene Faust (dunkler Hautton)">, let& #39;s intentionally show our support for black-owned businesses. Here are 5 ways you can do this RIGHT NOW https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⬇️" title="Pfeil nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Pfeil nach unten">

1. Find the businesses https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔍" title="Nach links zeigende Lupe" aria-label="Emoji: Nach links zeigende Lupe">
There are various directories online. All it takes is a Google search. You have to put in the work.

2. Stop asking for discounts! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💶" title="Banknote mit Euro-Zeichen" aria-label="Emoji: Banknote mit Euro-Zeichen">
We all love a bargain, however, if you can afford to pay full price for something, don& #39;t take it out of our community. Pay full price for a black supplier that can do the job.

3. Collaborate https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤜🏿" title="Nach rechts zeigende Faust (dunkler Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Nach rechts zeigende Faust (dunkler Hautton)">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤛🏿" title="Nach links zeigende Faust (dunkler Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Nach links zeigende Faust (dunkler Hautton)">
We don& #39;t have to compete! Build mutually beneficial relationships with each other.

4. Share & promote https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📢" title="Lautsprecheranlage" aria-label="Emoji: Lautsprecheranlage">
If a black-owned business has done a great job, shout about it on your social media platforms. Tag them! Word of mouth is very powerful.

5. COMMIT, COMMIT, COMMIT https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🖤" title="Schwarzes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Schwarzes Herz">
Repeat business is better than new business. Show your support by committing to their growth.
