On Nov. 20., Google and the U.S. Black Chambers, Inc. (USBC) announced the launch of their fourth Annual Black-Owned Friday Campaign featuring the award-winning actress and singer.
The groundbreaking initiative aims to drive support and uplift black-owned businesses during the holiday season and beyond.

On Monday, Palmer, 30, took to Instagram with a fun "Call To Action" video to inspire shoppers around the world to support Black-owned businesses "100% of the time."

 

In the short shoppable video, Palmer puts her spin on Crystal Waters' classic house hit "100% Pure Love" to encourage consumers and fans to buy and support Black-owned businesses as a way to foster economic empowerment within the Black community.

"I'm always about my business, but I'm 100% about my Black-owned business," the new mom and multi-talented star says before launching into a fun choreographed dance.

This partnership amplifies our commitment to connecting Black businesses with the resources they need to thrive," Gay said in a statement.
