BLACK-OWNED FASHION

Championing Black Excellence in Fashion and Enterprise
As part of our commitment to spotlighting Black excellence, creativity, and entrepreneurship, CBERG is proud to showcase a growing network of Black-owned businesses. From fashion and beauty to lifestyle and professional services, these businesses reflect the vibrancy and talent within our community. Supporting Black-owned businesses is about more than celebrating style — it’s also a way of addressing inequality and building stronger communities. Black entrepreneurs often face barriers in access to funding, visibility, and opportunities. By choosing to shop with and promote their work, you’re helping to close those gaps, amplify underrepresented voices, and create lasting economic impact.
