21 Black-Owned Businesses to Shop on Amazon to Celebrate Juneteenth 2022

Juneteenth is just weeks away — which makes June (as well as every other month in the year) a great month to celebrate Black business owners. This holiday -- named for and celebrated on June 19th — commemorates the true ending of slavery in the United States. Juneteenth has come a long way and 2022 makes the second year of being recognized as an official federal holiday after President Joe Biden signed the bill into law. .
Just months ago in February, Amazon has honored Black History Month by showcasing dozens of Black-owned businesses. From beauty brands like Lip Bar to Design Essentials, card games like Black Card Revoked more, Amazon hosts a ton of unique Black-owned brands in lifestyle and beauty with products that can help maintain our health and wellness.
Since the pandemic started, independent brands have faced countless challenges. In addition to the financial struggles small businesses face, systemic racism still impacts the Black community and the community's professional success, thus it's important to uplift Black-owned businesses whenever you can. You could tell your friends about a new Black-owned brand you love, or you could place an order for a new Black-owned business you found. You could even support a business by retweeting its latest launch. Regardless of how you support Black-owned businesses, it's important to keep the support going today and beyond.
Ahead, ET has crafted a list of products from 20 Black-owned businesses on Amazon to celebrate Juneteenth that we think you'll enjoy. We will also periodically update this article as we discover more Black-owned businesses on Amazon.
