Listen to sisters Jessica and Monica Valenzuela discuss their journeys in creating a business out of selling cookies from their home. They grew up in a home where gatherings were centered around food, always with a blend of rustic family recipes and fun new flavor experiments. With the Pandemic taking away their ability to gather, Little Boxes NYC was born out of a desire to distill the energy of these family gatherings into a giftable homemade treat. They do their best to source ingredients locally as much as possible and make everything in small batches from their home base in Brooklyn. For more info, visit their website at littleboxesnyc.com

Listen to Judi Townsend, Owner, and CEO of Mannequin Madness discuss her journey in creating a woman-owned, Black-owned business in a niche industry. When she started the business in 2001, it was a side hustle renting mannequins out of her backyard. She had no prior experience in the retail industry or working with mannequins. A brief stint at a dot com and a craigslist post changed everything for her. Now she has four employees, four contractors, a warehouse, and is referred to as “the Mannequin Queen” due to her industry knowledge and online presence.
