Went to bed completely overwhelmed. Woke up overflowing with gratitude. I’m in the middle of something amazing…. 🤩

Fridays are the days I approve invoices at Metro-Detroit Black Business Alliance

These days used to stress me out because I’m always wanting to make sure we’re being a good steward of the resources that we have.

Nowadays, I get get excited because I look at the invoices and almost every single invoice that I pay from our accountants to our insurance providers to our caterers and other vendors.

Almost every single one is a Black business. We don’t just tell the world to support Black businesses. We put our money where our mouth is.

Another Friday. Another day paying thousands of dollars to our members to help us do this mission work! Full Circle ⭕️ and I love it 🥰

Throwback Saturday 😂😂😂

Guest cohosting on reminded me of my love for social and political commentary. 😎
