Just before the new year I stumbled on a great Twitter thread compiling black owned planner and stationery companies. I browsed a number of them, and bought from a few. But I thought I’d share a few on the list today with you! Greer Chicago – Ana gave this one a thumbs up as she…

A Deep Dive into All-In-One Planners
Our final planner category is all-in-one planners (see our previous posts on Ringbound, Discbound, and Elastic Bound)– these are bound books with hardcover, softcover or spiral binding that feature some combination of calendars and other features for planning. This is probably the hardest category of planners to comprehensively discuss. There are literally hundreds of options…
