Taraji P. Henson Swears By These Black-Owned Home Decor Brands

Last week, actress Taraji P. Henson began a five-day mission of highlighting Black-owned businesses in honor of Black History Month. Starting Feb. 8, Henson began her weeklong venture with a collection of Black-owned wellness brands, then moved onto the beauty sphere, following up with art and design, and finally, she touched upon Black-owned home decor brands. And if you’re not already well aware of the brands she mentioned, it’s time to familiarize yourself.

“Today is all about Home, decor, and living.” Henson captioned her Feb. 11 Instagram post — the fourth day of posts.
