Let’s keep the momentum going from Black History Month and celebrate some brands that are moving the Black culture forward. If you’re like me you already know how hard it can be to find these dope fashion designers. Sure, I’ve discovered one or two brands while scrolling on Instagram and a few others from endless Google searches. But wouldn’t it be awesome to see our talented brothers and sisters celebrated more on mainstream media platforms (and not just during February)?
