Oprah's Favorite Things 2020 is officially here. As always, it’s full of great gift ideas for everyone on your shopping lists. Bu this year’s list champions small businesses and businesses owned by people of color. As the legend herself put it in her letter on OprahMag.com: "...This year, there's a special twist. Because so many people want to support Black lives any way they can, we've found dozens of absolutely gorgeous gifts from Black-owned businesses that deserve to be celebrated, because we believe Black lives—and Black businesses—matter. So for 2020, most of my Favorite Things are from Black-owned or -led companies."
