This past year, calls to support Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC)-owned businesses have been amplified. We know there are many benefits to using our holiday shopping to support people of color (a few are listed here), particularly during the COVID-19 crisis, when so many businesses are struggling. The 15% pledge calls on major retailers to commit 15% of their spending to buying from Black-owned businesses, which is a great place for us to start, too! As the holiday season approaches, many of us want to take that step, but feel unsure of where to start - there's so many to choose from! Throughout the three sections of this guide - art, fashion, and more - I have endeavored to highlight a diverse range of voices, including people of color from countries all over the world, women and LGBT+ folks, featuring works at a diverse range of prices. These are people at all stages of their creative careers whose art or small business speaks to me on a personal level, who are doing wonderful things in their community, and who I believe deserve recognition and support. When you purchase from an independent artist or small business, you are helping to keep their dream alive and allowing them to continue to share their work with the world! Whether you're looking for a new work of art to brighten your home or something new to wear, you're sure to find something in this catalog as creatives stock (and re-stock) their shops for the holidays. So download this guide, cozy up with a warm drink, and make a wishlist (for yourself and your loved ones!) Don't forget to share this, too, so everybody can have a chance to find unique, heartfelt, one-of-a-kind gifts this holiday season. xoxo Kris Orion Rose (@krisorionrose) Click here to download the guide!
