Black Pound Day happens on the first Saturday of every month in a bid to encourage spending in Black-owned businesses and grow the Black economy and Black communities – so we enlisted the help of Afro Leads (@afro_leads) to curate a list of places to support.

Afro Leads is an Instagram page where followers can find daily posts about UK Black business and culture.

Founded two years ago by sisters Stephanie Amor and Julie Duodu as a means to provide positive reflection and representation of Black British culture, the siblings have been inspiring people every single day.



Check them out to discover UK black-owned businesses, learn about inspiring people within the black community or take a trip down memory lane with their #throwbackthursdays.

With a podcast also launching in August to further push their message who better to suggest Black-owned businesses to support for August’s Black Pound Day.
