Happy Black History Month! ✊🏾🖤❤️💚

Yesterday, I interviewed Reverend Jermaine Walker, native of Pinewood, SC. Reverend Walker was named black farmer of the year by the National Black Farmers Association! An elite honor. Walker was raised into farming and his family ancestry has 72 acres of land in SC.

At one point, Walker almost lost his farm due to the pandemic and other unforeseen measures. But thanks to a program in the USDA, he was able to wipe the debt clean. Now he is in the process of building his farm back for his children and future generations. The hard reality is that many black farmers aren’t as BLESSED and previed. There are still injustices in the agriculture industry. I feel honored to tell his story in our Black History Month special airing 2/17 on WBTW at Noon.

Hi everyone! We know it has been a while since we connected with you all. But we pray everyone is safe during the pandemic and we encourage you to check out the video below :

Right now so much is happening in our nation, regarding the pandemic and deaths of minorities in an unjust way. Many businesses are navigating ways to stay afloat in the midst of these uncertain times. I spent 25 minutes with girl boss, Melody Washington, owner of Naturalu Hair ByMelody, who shares with us her background, what propelled her to become her own boss and tough lessons she endured. This is the beginning of a personal series I’m doing dedicated to showcasing minority business owners and inspiring those who are interested in starting a business. In Part 2 Washington gives her opinion about the current protests and demonstrations going on.
