Black Owned in Rochester Weekly Newsletter

Good Day Rochester!

Happy Thursday & Happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating. By the time you receive this I’ll probably setting the table for dinner and people will be munching on the hor d’oeuvres (charcuterie and deviled eggs). This won’t stop me from thinking about the basis of this holiday being a lie. And being sad about what actually happened during that time. 2 things can exist at the same time. I’m grateful and reverent at the same time.

P.S. we’re testing out leaving third party ads out for our Black Business Sustainers. Thanks for supporting us!
