In addition to having conversations with family and friends who don’t understand why this movement is so important…another way to help the #BlackLivesMatter movement is to support local Black owned businesses. You can view a full list of options put together by the Des Moines Black Lives Matter organization HERE. My list below is just a few options of places I know and love and new places I want to try. Let’s build up our community and support these businesses!

PALM’S CARIBBEAN CUISINE

Their curbside pick-up changes weekly and I can tell you the wings are amazing! I can’t wait to try more of what they offer.

Their coffee is AMAZING and their commitment to giving back and investing in our communities is infectious. Blk & Bold is a company that truly makes a positive impact and I am proud to support them.
