Target has recently come under fire for its decisions regarding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, sparking important conversations about corporate accountability.
While these discussions are necessary, it’s equally important to ensure that the backlash doesn’t inadvertently harm the Black-owned brands that have worked tirelessly to secure a place on Target’s shelves and website.
These businesses—many of which are small, independent, and founded by passionate entrepreneurs—deserve our support now more than ever.
Below, we’ve curated a list of Black-owned brands available at Target. We encourage you to shop directly from their websites whenever possible.
