#SupportBlackBusiness

Three successful Black business owners, Kimberly Mitchell of Young Professional Staffing Solutions, Brianna Ellis of Mornin' Coffee Clothing, & Mack Graham Jr. of Mack Graham Nonprofit Consulting, discuss their lives before opening their businesses, the inspiration behind their businesses, general challenges of being a business owner, challenges of being a Black business owner, the intersectionality of being Black & male/female (does gender still play a role while Black?), triumphant moments, & the future of their businesses/endeavors. Your Hostess with the Mostest Shanell breaks down stereotypes of Black businesses (stop asking for discounts!). Kim, Brianna, & Mack also give advice, tips, and resources for aspiring business owners.
