I can take no credit for the list below, this was all Visual Mag, a local, Lowell treasure who created this list highlighting Black creatives they have had in their publications. Here at Life as a Maven we stand behind our Black and Brown brothers and sisters and lift them up by supporting them in every way we can. I hope as we continue to foster communities where we ALL feel safe that we continue to lift each other up, support one another, and continue to support small businesses. xoxo, Life as a Maven
The statement below is directly from Rita T. Founder & CEO of Visual Mag
“This list is to highlight the Black creatives that have been featured in VisualMag. Support them by hiring them, following their Instagram accounts, while also liking & posting their work. It has been a pleasure to hear their stories and I hope they inspire you as much as they have inspired me. I’ve also included other platforms that are highlighting Black creatives – Thank You (RT)”
