Infinitely Black ∞
There are many ways we can celebrate black history month, but as a black-owned business, we know there is probably nothing as impactful as supporting the business dreams and aspirations we are building today.
Being a business owner is a rigorous journey filled with obstacles, challenges, and adversities unrealizable until within the circumstances - all of this is tremendously compounded by being black. We all have an impact on the world by the choices we make daily. Take the power you have and be conscious, support us - buy black, listen black, read black, eat black, support black, not just this month... always ∞
We want to highlight a few businesses we are proud to support and believe you'll appreciate as well. Check them out:

Founded by artists Noah and Karon Davis in 2012, The Underground Museum (The UM) is an arts and culture center operating out of four converted storefronts in the Arlington Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles. They bring art experiences traditionally reserved for major institutions to diverse audiences for free. They believe that art is an essential part of a vibrant, just, and healthy society and that increasing access to art will inspire, educate, and transform lives.
The UM is a cultural hub that ensures no one has to travel outside the neighborhood to see world-class art, or learn from leading thinkers, educators, chefs, and artists. With the help of countless collaborators, they have brought art, culture, and wellness directly to their neighborhood while also amplifying the importance of local Black leadership on a global scale.
Open Wednesday – Sunday: 12 – 6pm

Reparations Club is a concept (book)shop + creative space curated by Blackness® in Los Angeles, CA. Black-owned. Woman-owned.
From book launches, pop ups, and cultural events, Rep Club has created a unique perspective on a (book) shop. Serving as cultural hub, it has a very diverse book and publication collection. In addition to shedding light on themes related to social and racial issues, Rep Club aims to help with the circulation of money between the hands of the BIPOC community through the sale and promotion of their products. The name itself reinforces the reparatory aspect of the project: the idea that there must be a reparation for black people who for centuries have been enslaved and deprived of any social and economic progression.
