Jamin and Leonard, two founders of The Black Coffee Company sat down to discuss their #pivotalmoment of opening up their business. You will be inspired! #blackbusiness
About Black Coffee Company:
We launched The Black Coffee Company in 2018 with the freshest organic coffee beans and #BlackCoffeeCo branded merchandise as a way to create resources and opportunities for our communities. It all started on a 2015 trip to the Motown Museum in Detroit, MI where we learned how Berry Gordy’s parents worked together to create a self-sustaining family investment fund. This fund not only provided business startup capital for all family members, it provided the funding necessary for Berry Gordy to launch his Motown record label. For us, this was a divine moment of inspiration. We started as high school friends and grew into lifelong brothers, proudly walking the halls of the great Xavier University of Louisiana together. Over the years through our travels and adventure, our ambitions grew and our focus shifted to protecting the family collective, creating a legacy. We finally had a blueprint for our next endeavor. We would learn all we could about investing so that we could become a vehicle for empowerment within our own community. "BackPack Investments" was born. This investment club would allow us to put our money where our mouth is, learn the ropes, and share knowledge. After three years building, spending hundreds of hours in meetings and conference calls, growing our investment fund, pooling our financial resources and career experiences .... we launched our business, “The Black Coffee Company”.
The Black Coffee Company has allowed us to leverage our collective capital, cultural experiences, and networks, to create a self-sustaining enterprise that sells organic fair trade coffee beans, branded merchandise and apparel, and ultimately, lifestyle. Through this enterprise we direct a percentage of all profits to our educational fund, which provides high-impact educational and financial resources for minority youths within our local communities.

Dania joins the conversation today to discuss her journey of learning to embrace her menstrual cycle and how that opened up the way to create her own business, educating women to do the same!
About Sheflows Aromatic
Our passion is to help female entrepreneurs to be connected to their body’s natural rhythms while running their businesses. I strongly believe that we can’t show up for others if we aren’t connected to ourselves first.
My name is Dania Sanon, co-founder of She Flows Aromatic. After taking steps to support my struggling body that was dealing with debilitating cramps, migraines, and mood swings that were disruptive to my life, I realized there is more to hormone health than I thought. So, I took it upon myself to learn more about our menstrual cycle and use lifestyle medicines along with natural approaches such as aromatherapy to support women’s hormonal health.

How to overcome dealing with a Chronic Illness and getting your life back!
About Edna:
I am (Edna) Raquel Velez-Thomas (Raquel is my middle name but my business AKA), mom of 2
young men, wife for 26 years, Natural Skin Care Formulator and Wellness Advocate,
I’ve struggled with endometriosis since my late teens. About 10 years ago I stopped using
parabens and was able to halt and reverse the painful symptoms. I learned to make my own
skincare because there weren’t many paraben free choices. I started Purity’s Embrace in 2019
so other woman can have safe quality options.
I have also dealt with chronic fatigue syndrome since 2008 and have been able to heal and
restore some quality of life. This journey included changing my diet, and eating gluten free.
I want to share my healing journey and raise awareness regarding these 2 chronic illnesses.
My goal is to improve the health of 10k women!
Eventually I’d like to help woman with chronic illness start their own business.

About Amber:
