Where Rochester Finds Black Owned Everything!
Hey Friend,
Happy Thursday!
Congrats to Sinners! That’s it that’s the opening lol
Enough about me…Let's get this party started!
🌟 This Week's Spotlight: BOIR Calendars
2026 BOIR Calendar Clearance
They gotta go….
I guess I printed too many! So 2026 is almost ¼ over but you still might need a calendar for the wall or want to gift them. I had a few people say they were going to order but that fell through. That’s ok. Here’s an opportunity for an awesome deal. I’m going to take a loss on these and offer them from $25 each + shipping. There are 3 left so help a sista out and take these off my hands!
