Let’s face it, we’re probably going to be wearing face masks well into 2021. At this point they’ve become a part of our everyday routine, so why not do it in style? The CDC recommends wearing a mask in the public, during any traveling, and should always be worn around anyone who is sick. Even if you're fully vaccinated against COVID-19, the CDC recommends keeping up all the same safety precautions we followed in phase one of quarantine. With all that in mind, consider supporting Black businesses and creators along the way. There are countless brands, Etsy shops, and artists creating the protective gear, so we listed 10 Black-owned brands that are making styles you won’t want to take off. And in case you needed it, this is a reminder to go wash your masks.
*Please note that these masks are not medical grade, but can be worn with medical-grade masks underneath or with filter inserts.
