🎙️ In this Episode: The Rite of Passage Every Black Business Owner Has to Go Through

In this episode of Creatives Do Business Well, I am speaking directly to every Black business owner who has ever felt like burning it all down. The discourse around Anifa Mvuemba closing Hanifa after almost fifteen years brought up everything I live every single day as a Black creative entrepreneur in America.

I share a voice memo straight from my heart. I talk about why I am not shocked by Anifa's decision, why I overstand it, and why this moment is bigger than one brand closing. It is a rite of passage that our community needs to understand.

In this episode we cover:

Why Black business owners face a completely different starting point than their counterparts

How systemic barriers and lack of capital turn gifted creatives into burned out business owners

The double standard our community holds Black businesses to while giving billion dollar brands unlimited grace

Why your gift has to serve you before it serves anyone else

How to prioritize your wellness, your creative freedom, and your wholeness while building a business from your gifts

A love letter and a prayer for Anifa and every Black business owner choosing themselves today
