Margo Atwell, Director of Outreach & International at Kickstarter, tweeted, “For everyone who still has income: the next two months are going to be really crucial for all of our beloved independent businesses. If you can, try to buy holiday gifts EARLY and from independent artists and stores. Amazon has enough money; let’s shop our values 2020.” The dapperQrew is doing just that by shopping Black queer owned this holiday season. Here are just some of our favorites. Additional advice from Atwell:
– Buy directly from their stores
– Buy giftcards from restos, bakeries, fitness studios
– Sign up for their newsletters (no or low cost)
– Leave a review (no or low cost)
– Share and tag them on social (no or low cost)
