5 Black-owned Kids Companies to Support Right Now

As the holidays quickly approach + Black History month in February, I think it’s an important time to reflect upon the past year. Regardless of the political landscape and what side of it you fall on, there is no denying that our country and society has racial inequalities. Black women are more likely to die giving birth, there are less Black-owned businesses in the market, and Black folks fared worse this past year due to COVID-19. So I want to use this space to also amplify Black voices + to encourage the support of Black-owned businesses. So here are 10 Black-owned Kids Companies to Support Right Now!

Teri Co. Canada
Teri Co. Canada makes vegan leather play mats for your children. If your home is anything like mine, full of white carpet, and your are afraid your kids with draw all over it with marker, then this is the mat for you! Their larger mat is also a perfect picnic mat for a spring or summer day. They also make smaller mats for table play.

Heritage Baby Designs

This brand of baby slings are 100% European linen and made with love in Canada. They’re the perfect sling for any new mom in your life! I also love that they are all hand-dyed for the extra personal touch! So much care and love goes into each of these slings and for each sling sold they donate a percentage to a non-profit.

Alaffia

Alaffia is a organic soap, shampoo, and lotion company. They offer a wide range of products from their adult-line to their baby + child line. We use their bubble bath as a special treat at the end of each week. We also use their entire line of soaps and lotions on our children. I love that they are organic + non-toxic and Black owned! They are also involved in a lot of charity work which is great!

Rahma Rodaah Stories

Rahma Rodaah is a small business owner, social justice advocate, and author. She self-published two books titled “Little Brother for Sale” and “Muhimma’s Quest” to ensure her children’s culture and skin color were represented in literature. Her books are a great addition to any bookshelf and I encourage everyone to check them out!

    A few years ago a friend I admire deeply, @homemad A few years ago a friend I admire deeply, @homemadefamilies, said motherhood has its seasons. And, it's so true.

There are seasons in motherhood. There are seasons where we are inspired and seasons we simply are not. There are seasons we are energetic and ones where we are depleted. There are seasons of joy and seasons of sorrow. There are seasons of productivity and seasons of stagnation.

I'm currently in the season of getting by and depletion. If you noticed this summer I was inspired. I shared a lot of our lovely activities. And, I shared our daily and weekly lessons. At the moment, were just doing the minimum. We're working through weekly lessons and the rest of the day is spent trying to take a moment of pause from my lovely children.

This is the season I am in as a mother right now and that's okay. We're in the midst of a pandemic. Its okay if you're not mothering with grace. It's okay if you're not the "perfect" mom. It's okay if your holiday gifts are not Instagram worthy. It's okay if your weekly lessons are less than. This years seasons have been challenging, take a moment for yourself. Take time to replenish.

Did you know we are witnessing the collapse of the Western monarch butterfly? This year in California there were less than 2,000 Western monarchs. The Eastern Monarch population is also in decline. Over the past 40 years the Eastern Monarch population has declined by over 80%.

I wish I could say merely planting more milkweeds would solve the problem of their decline but with all things, it's going to require a tad more effort from our government. Another small yet beautiful reason we need to advocate for climate change NOW!
