Graduating — whether high school, college or otherwise — is a huge milestone.
But with the onset of the coronavirus pandemic of 2020, millions of students around the world weren’t able to have their big moment on the stage and be recognized for their dedication and hard work via a traditional graduation experience. Instead of joyous graduation ceremonies and parties, virtual celebrations were held in there places. Often with no cap-and-gowns in sight.
Because of that, it’s even more important to show the graduate in your life just how proud you are of all that they’ve accomplished. If you need some inspiration on a thoughtful gift the Black grad in your life will love, here are a few unique gift ideas that you can send their way to show a little (or a lot) of love.
