BLACK OWNED!

My People!

What is going on in the world? 2020 is looking and feeling like something I’ve read in books. It’s gross; I don’t like it. It forces growth; I looooove that!  Do you know what else I love? Black-owned businesses. Outside of purchasing items (much appreciated in advance), here’s a shortlist of what you can do to support black-owned businesses and each other:

Customers/Friends

• Please don’t ask for a discount. In most cases, prices are not excessive. The amount is for a decent profit. If things are not up to your standard or fitting your price range, move on
• Provide honest feedback on items purchased. DO NOT DRAG A BUSINESS / OWNER/             ENTREPRENEUR. Learning is part of the process, and there are ways to communicate without defamation.  – I’m happy to provide a template
• Tag/Repost/Share merchandise you love or think someone else might have an interest in. Spread it all around. 
• Don’t just scroll, engage, tell us what you need and want. Suggestions help a whole lot 

Owners/Entrepreneurs

• Provide a quality product (quality is relative; however, you should be able to stand by your product). If you wouldn’t wear or use it? Should you sell it? Just sayin’
• Customer service needs to be on point. Pleases, thank yous and problem-solving
• If you can, switch it up. Keep it new and exciting. 
• Engage your community. Be the social in social media. – I could use the practice here
• Don’t make demands for sales. There’s a thin line between selling and obnoxious

        It’s been on my mind, and I hope this helps or at the least gives you something to consider. We are activated! I feel great things coming. I want to see us win. I am manifesting growth in your pockets and wherever you need it.
