Celebrating Black Business Month: A Guide to Supporting Black Businesses!

Blaze Group had an amazing time at Essence Festival last month! In addition to our Founder and CEO Casey Ariel hitting the Essence stage twice to discuss how entrepreneurs can scale their businesses, we enjoyed connecting with so many fellow members of the New Voices Family across activations and the reunion! Some fellow founders gifted us with products to try and we are in LOVE. 

To keep the celebration going and honor Black Business Month, we’ve created this gift guide full of the incredible products that we’ve tried from Black-owned businesses in the New Voices Family. Get ready to revamp your beauty routine and indulge in some self-care with these amazing finds:
