The founder of Brother Vellies asked major store chains to take the 15 Percent Pledge, which is to devote a portion of their buy to Black-owned businesses.

These companies, being reputed movers and shakers in the fields of fashion, farming, beauty, cannabis, and more, have the visibility and resources to influence how the masses shop for products. This is especially prevalent for burgeoning brands, who are often at the mercy of their seasonal buys to stay afloat. According to James, taking part in this pledge will not only provide much-needed finances to a brand in the short-term, but will cause a ripple effect that will lead to more opportunities.
