Happy Black History Month from OTN!

We're proud to honor the amazing contributions the Black community has made throughout history and every single day. The month of February is when we take time to reflect on their efforts & strides, remember historic trailblazers who changed lives, and the amazing community members out there today working to create true equality & opportunity. There are a lot of ways you can support, honor, and celebrate Black History Month - and we've compiled a few options for you. Check out some ways you can support this month - and all year round - below!

Support Black-Owned Businesses

From food to beauty to fashion - Black-owned businesses are everywhere! Whether you're buying from them, or supporting them on social media, every act is appreciated! Search for some Black-owned businesses in your community, and find even more online.

Donate to Charities or Nonprofits

Charities are a great way to support efforts this month. Grassroots charities & nonprofits rarely get a lot of publicity & are always in need of donors like you to assist in their efforts. Check out some that you can donate to below.

Attend Black History Month Celebrations

Whether you attend virtually or in-person, this is a great way to connect with the Black community in your city, meet business owners, support local charities, learn something new, and have some fun!

Learn About Black History Figures

There are numerous black figures throughout our history that don't get as much recognition as MLK Jr. & Rosa Parks. Doing research & learning about these figures is a great way to learn about the community & connect on a deeper level. Read into some historic Black figures with the link below.
