The protests and activism against the murder of George Floyd and others have prompted various conversations about how families can foster antiracism and representation at home. One way is by supporting Black businesses that do just that. Along with consistently reading your children books that promote representation and equality and having open and honest conversations about race, parents can also support Black-owned baby and kids businesses. From adorable baby clothes that you'll want to add to your registry ASAP to businesses that are determined to give little ones more representative toys, there are many Black-owned baby and children's brands to consider. Read ahead to see a list of some of the brands we love.
