Sisters Kristel Jones and Kendra Settle founders of Uplift Us Marketplace stopped by our kitchen to make a fast easy dish they used to make during hard times. I have never met sisters so close that they went into business together. This dynamic duo created Up Lift Us marketplace to support Black business owners following the death of George Floyd. Their journey to making this dream possible was not for the faint of heart. In this episode, they discuss the milestones and pivots they took along the way with a retail location that had a huge demand from vendors to customers.
