Lately we have all been asking ourselves what we can do to support one another. Amidst Black Lives Matter, and a pandemic, it is more important now, than ever, to support our local businesses. Lansing Mom has compiled a list of Black-Owned Businesses that are right in your backyard that you can begin supporting immediately, if you haven’t already!
