I bought this from Amazon and I was so excited… but seeing the pages in my hands almost felt—Erie? Knowing the hoops that were jumped through to be safe, flipping to my city and seeing not even a full page—thinking about the few stops I could make from here to my hometown…
The Greatest story of entrepreneurship and Black Owned business/retail is the Green Book. I would love to be able to stay in all of the Green Book hotels, go to some of the bars/clubs, and participate in beach days as they did.
Some of these retail stores put Black brands in the store to check a box and then put no effort into marketing their existence—unacceptable. Getting to the shelf is the start of the retail journey not the end. I’m tired.
