Who doesn’t love coffee? Blk & Bold, founded by Pernell Cezar and Rod Johnson, has stellar reviews and some flavor profiles to die for. You can support them directly by shopping their website, or on Amazon — a great option for Prime shoppers.

If you have natural hair, you understand the winter struggles. Most of us don’t get to take advantage of warm wool hats because they’re not good for our hair — not to mention, they’ll result in a frizzy mess. These silk-lined beanies by Kink & Coil give us the protection of a silk bonnet, and the warmth, coziness, and style of winter beanies!
Perfect for game nights: Lyrically Correct ($25)

Card games like this have made a huge splash over the last few years, and for good reason — they’re a ton of fun, especially in a group. Lyrically Correct is owned by two black couples: Dee and Tiffany, and Julez and Nikki. The game tests your knowledge of r&b and hip hop hits from the 1990s and 2000s, so choose your teammates wisely!
