"What do small businesses mean to you?" I asked Emmy-winning actor Billy Porter over the phone. "They are the lifeblood of a community," he began. "Small businesses are often set up for specific communities, and they serve those communities." The Pose star, who recently published a memoir, is passionate about small businesses. So when Amazon invited him to create his own holiday gift guide on the platform, he saw it as a chance to uplift BIPOC founders.

"What drew me in were the Black-owned businesses, the queer, and the women-owned businesses because these are the voices that need to be elevated." Billy continued. "I have been given a platform to do that." Let's also not forget that they're very high-quality, he added.

The products in question? An array of wellness goods designed to enhance any workout, skin-care, or beauty routine. Plus, healthy treats for dogs (because you can't forget your furry friends). Scroll on for Billy Porter's Amazon gift guide.
