AAPI Owned Business in Ohio

With a rise in anti-Asian hate and racism, AAPI owned businesses are affected and to counteract that, we should be intentional about supporting marginalized groups of small business owners. I created this list of AAPI owned businesses in Ohio for you to do just that! This list is ever-growing so be sure to check back often! I created a Black owned business list in 2020 and am still updating that post with new businesses today! If you check out any of the businesses on this list, be sure to leave me a comment and let me know how you liked it!
