Racism, in particular anti-Black racism, is woven into the fabric of society in North America and beyond. So often Black, Indigenous, and other People of Colour face greater barriers than white people in accessing resources in education and financing and are often excluded from media and circles of influence. In order to help undo some of the harmful effects of racism, we can learn from, follow, purchase from, and support Black-owned businesses including educators, authors, podcasters, and film-makers.  We can also financially assist organizations that support Black folx through the barriers they face and that offer resources that help them to succeed. 

The following are lists of Black sexuality professionals, businesses, and organizations that we encourage ourselves and others to support. We can help through purchasing what they have to offer, promoting them to others in our networks, and learning from their work to inform our own understanding of the history and impacts of racism. In doing so, we can take some steps towards being a part of the solution. 

Some content has been compiled from lists by Sarah Sophie Flicker & Alyssa Klein, Angie LeMire (Know Your Vulva), and Stacy Lee Kong (Friday Things).
