Between Black History Month, Women’s History Month, and International Women’s Day, there are plenty of reasons to celebrate Black women. Here are seven Black women-owned vegan businesses to support that ship nationwide.
Southern Roots Vegan Bakery
Southern Roots Vegan Bakery has quickly made a name for itself as one of the best vegan bakeries in the US. Wife-and-husband team of Cara and Marcus Pitts started the vegan business in San Antonio and quickly expanded to offer nationwide shipping due to the high demand for their products. Southern Roots makes donuts, cookies, cakes, and pies, with options for corporate dessert bundles and a donut-of-the-month subscription club.

Maya’s Cookies was founded in San Diego by Maya Madsen in 2015 and has since grown to become everyone’s favorite online cookie shop. This vegan business has perfected every cookie flavor in the book and is known for its creative holiday and special-edition flavors. Maya’s Cookies offers a monthly subscription box as well as cookie bundles if you want to try them all!
The Alkaline Electric Goddess
The Alkaline Electric Goddess—aka Ellise Nikki Johnson—is a vegan chef that offers catering, food prep, and a small online store filled with alkaline foods. After healing her lupus with an alkaline diet, Johnson has made it her mission to make alkaline foods available to everyone.

Tubby’s Taste offers a subscription club that is customizable to how many cookies you’d like per month.
Leuna Botanicals
Leuna Botanicals is a vegan skincare company made for all skin types.

She founded Leuna Botanicals, and the brand now makes face oils, body soaps and scrubs, moisturizers, and gift sets.
