Activism is often associated with attending protests or signing petitions. While these activities are important, there are multiple ways you can incorporate activism into your day-to-day life. Everyday activism takes a subtler approach. One simple way to make a difference is to practice conscious consumerism, or deliberately making purchasing decisions based on the ethical, social, or environmental good.

Large retailers like Target have taken steps to amplify small artists and creators who are POC. For example, in 2021, Target pledged to spend $2 billion on products and services from Black-owned businesses by 2025. As part of this initiative, it has amped up its offerings from Black designers and creators. While this pledge applies to all departments, the home offerings in particular caught our eyes.

From festive wall art to cozy accents, its selection offers options for every style at an accessible price point. If you're looking to support Black creators while refreshing your interiors, check out our favorite home items ahead.
