Editors Note
This holiday season may be difficult for most but we have to push through and make the best of it . Our stories feature so many entrepreneurs and business owners that it only made sense to specifically feature their products that align with our purpose of storytelling . The holidays this year will be like no other . Some of us are still being socially distant and celebrating with less family or the loss of loved ones but then there are others who are celebrating newfound connections .
With that being said , I ‘ m excited to bring our first Holiday Gift Guide issue ! We continue to celebrate the passionate entrepreneurs who created this year during the pandemic . This issue features Black and Minority-owned products that helped people get through this year mentally , physically , socially , and educationally . Get a glimpse at products you and your family must-have for the holiday season and beyond .
Self-care and education are a few of the things we decided to make sure to showcase in this issue . I felt this special issue was necessary because our audience needed something different in these times . Now is the time to support our small businesses , black and minority owners by purchasing their products and sharing with others . We at ENSPIRE have heard your concerns and the brands we are featuring in this issue have been specifically chosen with you in mind .
This is the season of giving , at any size or any packaging . We are proud to use our platform to implore you to share or purchase a gift for someone else while supporting Black and minority-owned businesses and entrepreneurs . I hope you all enjoy this issue and have a wonderful holiday season .
WITH LOVE ,
