Why Shop Small and Support Local

 Shop Small

Three questions about shop Small and Support Local 

• What does it mean to shop small?  
• Why does it matter?
• Who does it benefit?

The term shop small means to buy from small business and not the big box stores. In my state, New York,  25% or 1 in 4 business have permanently closed in the first two years of the pandemic.  Where you spend your money matter and helps keep local business in your community.  Those local business support local causes and charities because we are close to them.  As an artist, and entrepreneur,  I know what is means to put everything into my business. 

For every $100 you spend at a local business,  $68 stay in the community.

As March Closes, Celebrate our Wins

 

As we approach the end of Women's. History month, I am happy to share women who have been role models or inspired me. Two weeks ago I used the term Shero. Now I want to share a woman many have been inspired by.  Our vice President, Kamala Harris.  She broke the glass ceiling when she was elected.  I am happy to have a woman in the White house.   

Kamala Harris: “I may be the first woman to hold this office. But I won’t be the last.”

Black Lives Matter

 

It has been two years since Daniel Prude tragically  lost his life in Rochester.  I invite everyone to be kind and support our sisters and brothers.   We need to teach history accurately all year.  Support families who have lost loved ones like the Prude Family.  

Say his name,  Daniel Prude.
