Now we're cooking with Gritz Cafe and its ALL Love.

To everyone who has ɓeen̈ following the Fraud flyer, please know, there is no room for negativity.

We are a community. We support one another. We come together.

This morning Miss Trina and I had an amazing conversation and everything has been resolved. Whew!!

It is when 2 women come together, with an open mind and pure heart that real business gets done and people can come together.

I love this part of business. "Building Community"

I will say this, the original fraud flyer was posted after Miss Trina tried to reach out but was unable to get an answer right away. Because the number was not to True Beginnings an assumption had to be made to protect the Brand.

3 things that are EXTREMELY important to small business and lessons learned.

Branding is Everything
Communication is Vital
Community is the Key

I love and respect the community for all it has accomplished, even in the face of adversity.

Let's move on family. May 9, 3pm VENDORS WANTED.

Incarceration does not just touch the life of the person doing the time, but also those who love them, our community, and the system that governs them.

True Beginnings has been in operation for 12 years now. We have gone from just helping formerly incarcerated people learn the art of getting employed, to now offering true opportunity.

I will never forget the day God placed InNeed Service Solutions on my heart. I saw it plain as day: trucks with INS on the sides, a building full of people working and buying new, good items that would make their houses a home. I knew what I was supposed to be doing in October 2014, and I have not stopped.

Since that day, we have served over 587 women and 126 men.

Come to our store before we scale, so you know what the future holds for our community. See what a formerly incarcerated woman has done to support the people.

I have agonized over sharing this photo for weeks. I don't believe in exploiting the sisters I work with and for to gain your support. However, you need to know I am not just talking about the work I do; it is actually being done.

Through our 12-week program, I chose to get to know the women and let them get to know me so they didn't just see me as another facilitator. I am one of them. Jail and Prison have come and gone for me; however, the experience left a residue on me that I cannot shake.

I will forever hear the clanking in my ears of the doors closing behind me. I will forever feel the metal against my hips, the inch-thick plastic mattress that was supposed to protect me from. And I will never forget the smell of the food that seeped through my nostrils, into my mouth, through my stomach, and out through my pores.

I do this work because I believe there is a better way. A better way to rehabilitate. A better way to discipline. A better way to support. A better way to end recidivism.

I am a woman on a mission to not just make an impact, but to change the way the world sees us, who make mistakes, governed by trauma.

Today, I cherish every Black woman who has ever carried light through her own darkness — this one’s for us.

When Black women rise together, doors don’t just open — they stay open.

We Stand Together. If You stand with us drop a sunflower in my DM.
