There’s lot of conversation around this time of year around giving and gifting and yes shopping. It’s the American way to spend to show people that we love and appreciate them. Honestly; I’m not big on shopping, I’m big on seeing black businesses thrive and I love being the person in the crowd to say, ‘Hey did you know a black company makes that?’
“Elected to be the villain and certified a menace
Holdin’ it down since I paroled up outta prison
You heard about me, you just didn’t know it was me
All the treacherous, evil deeds of the D you never see.”

Until next week;
