This sounds brilliant. I just tried peanut butter (blondies) last week and this sounds even better.

That said, I do think there is a distinction between the type of entrepreneurship described here and what's being addressed in discussions about Black women having the highest rates of entrepreneurship

And just to be clear...by "strong position" I'm not talking about any kind of captain-of-industry...building-my-business-empire foolishness

I mean the skills and experience needed to survive AND help others around us do the same

And that's the key...don't watch what they say, hype or speculate on, watch what they do.

We saw this with coding...feeding minorities into bootcamps while they knew AI was on the horizon. That won't be the last round.

I've been talking about this for over a decade, and I could be wrong, but I think we're at the end of the window for people to step out on their own in a way that's minimally painful and reasonably possible.

If you haven't noticed, even white men are bailing on traditional career models...

Those are made at the Rochester Tailored Clothing factory in Rochester, NY (formerly known as the Hickey Freeman factory before they offshored production). This is a unionized workforce with immigrants from around the world, some of whom have been with the factory for 50+ years.

Glad you’re resting. Hope you’re back soon

Transplants cause soooo many problems down here…but sure, it’s just “Florida being Florida”

If BJJ taught me nothing else it was the value of principled and intentional enforcers

The baby bells are adorable (and on sale)

I’ve never tried those! I just planted some tender crisp cabbage (cabbage has been a challenge of mine), so fingers crossed😮‍💨
