In this episode, I'll be discussing a common phrase that I hear which is "this is why I don't support black owned businesses." For some reason Black owned small businesses are held to a different standard than other small businesses. We have to be 10 times better, 10 times more efficient, have 10 times better product.

I have become pretty well known not only for my small business and beautiful images on social media, but also for the fact that I call people out for their mean comments on Instagram.
