The Best Black-Owned Subscription Boxes from Self-Care to Kids' Crafts

Updated by Jaime Netzer

You’ve likely heard the call-to-action over the last few years: Support Black Businesses. But what does that mean exactly? According to some reports , studies show that 77% of wealth is created by owning a business. While Black people make up almost 15% of the American population, in 2019, only 2.3% of businesses were black-owned. In contrast to many business owners, Black businesses face myriad barriers to long-term success, such as higher interest rates, predatory lending practices, and less investment capital.

While there are many ways to support the fight for racial equity and social justice, an immediate way to challenge these norms is to support Black-owned businesses, both locally and online. And by purchasing a Black-owned subscription box, you’ll receive goodies at your door while continuing to bolster minority-owned businesses month after month.

But, one of the most important lessons to remember is that the work of antiracism is just that — continued work. One never "arrives" as an antiracist, and one should continually work to keep racial equity and social justice at the forefront of their life — daily.

“I love this subscription so much we've kept it for a couple of years now. Each box comes with an informative and beautiful picture book, instrument, activities, guide pamphlet, and a code to access the online videos and resources related to the subject. We turn it into 3 to 4 days worth of music lessons. I recommend this subscription to all my homeschooling friends. I'm not a musician or music teacher myself, so Ms. Shanan takes the guesswork out of planning a music curriculum.” – Joanne C.

“Love the books Momo sends us! They are beautiful books with wonderful messages and stories. My 4-year-old son gets so excited when we receive them and they immediately go to the top of the list for bedtime stories. And they stay there until the next box comes. Love this subscription!” – Kristina B.
