      Maybe you should inspire your communities instead of having people corrupt your teenagers and also instead of having war due to religion and resources. Too many Africans dying and destroying their own future. Maybe this woman should go talk to African students across the public school system to inspire them instead of continuing the cycle of violence, gangs, and imprisonment.

    Your story totally relates and resonates with me. As a single mother and owner of Sweet Creations, I was struggling to expand my home bakery until I found sbgfunds, which was recommended by my attorney. I applied for a business loan of $85k on the website and of course I was put on hold(processing) for a while, which made me think my application failed but to my greatest surprise I was approved the funds for my bakery. With that support, I secured a commercial kitchen, purchased new equipment, and launched a marketing campaign. In just six months, my revenue doubled, and I was able to hire my first employee! This loan not only transformed my business but also improved my family's future. I’m grateful for the opportunity to grow and contribute to my community!

    A tip to black owned business owners from another black person, sell products and services that can appeal to the masses. Unfortunately black business fail at higher rates because they tend to be too niche and cater to a small demographic. The truth is there are only so many black dollars that can be recirculated and to be successful long term, you have to get people from all walks of life to buy into your product. I wish her continued success.

    • @Alexa-uk8lj
      @Alexa-uk8lj 4 місяці тому

      She will not have that problem because she is NOT Black American. Her product will be viewed as an International product and the emphasis on the female growers will make the mostly white buyers feel as if they are donating to charity.

      Brothers can be true it also relates to a sore lack of funding.

      However when it comes to simple consumables. It starts with a fierce loyalty to our own brands first. We need to love our selves first. This base is what sustains business. Coffee is very universal. So in this case we should support her. We watched badly made indian movies give way to well made indian movies. Cause it didnt matter they just watched their own first. Before hollywood all day. Same energy.

      Black Americans fuel the majority of the cosmetic industry in America. It's not a matter of less money circulating due to a smaller consumer segment; it's what that segment WANTS to spend their money on and with whom. Black American business owners learn this very early on.

We did meet with Trader Joes also, but it was my competition Mayorga Coffee that had retail distribution to Trader Joes, Safeway, Costco etc. Obviously, they roasted themselves (Columbia). Unfortunately, once you make an incorrect location decision that`s it, no matter how many special events, weekend concerts, wedding parties etc. you can pack in. Good Luck! I can see at 3:44 that you are on the best side of the street, close to your cafe so it seems like you did the location right. We also sold branded coffee from our cafe. No Regrets. Glad to see you have a passion for roasting. 😎

    Interesting that her big break into major retail came during the 2020-2021 pandemic, coinciding with the BLM movement, which pushed corporations to improve diversity by stocking more Black-owned brands. Target, in particular, committed to uplifting Black and women-owned brands by intentionally sourcing and distributing them in stores. As mentioned in the video, $2.1 million of her sales come from retail, demonstrating that Black-owned brands don't underperform due to quality but due to lack of access and equity. It's great to see she was ready for the opportunity, and that Target continues to support her brand. The BLM movement has profoundly improved many lives.

      BLM is a grift and has done nothing to help black Americans. Her hard work and determination got her where she is. I’m black and hate seeing people’s success attributed to a scam org. She’s not a charity case, she earned this.

    That's an amazing story. The fact that farmers can get additional revenue from tips is a great business idea. Farmers in Africa remain poor despite working tirelessly to provide the best coffee and cocoa products. It will be great to see major brands follow similar business model or pay farmers better.

I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.
