Pinterest launches Black-owned fashion and beauty shop

Following the deaths of Breonna Taylor, George Floyd and many others at the hands of police, there's been more of a national effort to support people of color.

One way people are standing in solidarity is by supporting Black-owned brands, and that's a part of the reason Pinterest has launched a Black-owned fashion and beauty shop.

In addition to celebrating National Black Business Month, the company said there was an increased interest in Pinners searching for "Black-owned business" as well as "support small business" from June 22 to July 19 compared to the same time period in 2019.
