As a Black woman travel blogger, I have always highlighted my experiences traveling the world with my audience and supporting Black-owned businesses.
In 2020, I was faced with the question of how I could better support our community and use my platform to amplify Black-owned businesses. I couldn’t think of a better way than to build a guide to highlight Black-owned spirit brands.
I started my initial list with about 65 brands, but it has since grown to over 160 Black-owned brands. It’s been such an amazing journey to not only learn about these brands, but also chat with many of their founders and try some delicious spirits.
Many of these spirits are available online via their websites (all headings are clickable), or in some cases, your local store. Check the map below to see which spirits are closest to you.
Supporting Black-owned businesses is a way of life for me. Our spending habits show what we think is important and have a way of speaking for us when we aren’t being heard. Use this guide to let your spending habits speak for you.
