HOUSTON – Beyonce’s BeyGOOD Foundation is, once again, doing its part to help support small businesses impacted by economic inequalities.

In 2020, the Houston native introduced the Black Parade Route as an initiative to help 900 Black-owned small businesses globally that were challenged by the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
