Black Owned in Rochester Weekly Newsletter

On this National Day of Mourning May Pres. Jimmy Carter rest in peace.

Good Day Rochester!

Happy 2nd Thursday of 2025! I’m looking forward to this year and what I’m bringing forth. Based on my goals and my health I’m honestly questioning if BOIR will keep running after April 2025 (yes 3 months from now). If I can get some help that’ll definitely change how I see and prioritize BOIR but if I can’t then I have some big decisions to make in March… and that also includes this newsletter. I know we do a lot for Black Owned businesses which is why I want to keep this going but financially it is a drain on my family and household. We offer free listings which 99% of businesses use which isn’t enough to cover the platforms. So, lots of things on my mind.

Thanks for being here!

A lot is going on in Rochester so let’s get started!
