Our Hair!
I only received responses from 3 people when I sent out the email about a documentary on the Black hair care market...so I hope this reaches more people this way...
Here are the links to the documentary. I appreciate even the smallest efforts to strengthen my community. This is only a start...
The links to the documentary are in 4 parts.

This is an interesting topic. Can people honestly be mad? It is just like if someone wanted to start a business in the same field as someone else and they go up to them to ask for their contacts. Lets get real...no one is going to give you their hook up information if they see that it may mess with their profits. Just as they went out and scouted or found their way into the system they are expecting you to do the same. I am not surprised at the fact that this industry is dominated by them because you know a lot of people talk about what needs to be done but never do it. Then they want to complain when it is done by somebody else. Look at orientals(sorry if thats not the correct term to use), when they build a business they incorporate their family/culture into that business so that they can rise also. Unlike with some blacks when they make it big or do well...they just do what is politically correct. I may be speaking out of turn...but stop picking on the fact that they picked a business they knew they could thrive in and clearly don't think because you are a black owned shop and because I am black that I am going to automatically come to your shop. Meaning don't assume because i am black that I will come to your store and pay a higher price rather than go to the store with a better bargain. If you want our business you need to step up to the plate because your competition is not playing:)
I appreciate the comment...I wish Blacks would support Black businesses more, despite lower prices at Asian (Oriental refers to objects) owned shops...especially when it comes to products and services that apply to us...ie Our hair, our skin, and certain health issues...all of which are indeed very different from those of other races. Granted that I am already a supporter of Black business, I've decided to make a greater effort...starting with my hair.
