this is such an extensive list! we are working on doing the same for Richmond. Discovering lots of new great businesses, restaurants and people for sure 🙂
So many amazing options to choose from! I need to do something like this for Richmond. I’ve been stalking local Facebook groups for business owners lately to expand my list!
I love to shop local when I can, especially during these time. What a great guide for Nashville locals!
Hi, Greta!
This is an awesome list that you’ve created! You should consider adding Black Girl Wellness, owned by Dr. Tanya Nichols of Nashville! Black Girl Wellness is an online directory for Black women and women of color owned businesses that offer wellness resources. BGW promotes services and products within four pillars of wellness: physical, mental, career, and financial. There’s also a “shop wellness” section that allows individuals to purchase health and wellness related products from Black women and women of color. It’s a super helpful resource that Dr. Nichols, a licensed psychologist and Vanderbilt postdoctoral fellow, has created to benefit the Nashville community and beyond!
