Recently, I’ve asked you to nominate a female owned small business on Instagram… And I was blown away by all the responses I received and the new businesses I was introduced to. It honestly made me so proud to see so many businesses run by women and many others starting their small business after losing their jobs due to the pandemic.
If you’re not in the market for goods right now, but you’re looking to support these small businesses, you could do the following. Consider buying a gift card from them, showing them love on their social media networks, or even signing up for their newsletter.
Here are 10 female owned businesses that deserve your support:

Danya Marou has all your modest fashion needs covered from cosy balloon sleeve cardigans to wear during the day to chic, one of a kind abayas for the evenings. Putting ethical fashion front and centre of her business, Marou’s pieces are the epitome of luxurious modest wear.
