Supporting Black Businesses

In this clip, listen as mother and son reflect on why they buy from Black businesses. They start the conversation by considering whether we owe each other support. They discuss Robert Smith, who paid the student debt of the a graduating class of Morehouse, and how he is an example of what it looks like to give back not only financially but through mentorship.

I’m always interested when I hear about a new Black company…and that there’s an affinity, a desire I have to at least try the product.
