Where Rochester Finds Black Owned Everything!
Hey Friend,
Happy Thursday!
By the time you get this I’ll have been home for a few hours from Orlando and I gotta admit: the sunshine state might have healed my mental health. While I’m loving the cool air on my face there was nothing like the warm air and sunshine-y days most days even on “cloudy” days. I get the allure of snow birding and I think I might need to actively partake next year! Do you snow bird? If so where do you go? Hit reply and let me know!
Enough about me…Let's get this party started!
P.S. Please by a calendar. Thank you.

2026 BOIR Calendar Clearance
They gotta go….
I guess I printed too many! So 2026 is 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 Please! It’ll help me cover the domain renewal this month….
