I am an extreme advocate for supporting black owned businesses. However, there are many black people that do not feel the same way. Some people have created the notion that black owned businesses have terrible customer service. Now yes queen, I have experienced this myself. However, it only made me want to support black owned businesses more, not disown them all. Some people also simply do not support because they do not believe in starting a business. Take for example your one friend who...

Imagine a world where no one told lies, or made up stories other than for entertainment purposes, and everyone truly lived in their truth. I know you’re thinking this sounds like a fantasy, or a corny movie on Netflix. However, this can be your reality.
