Owning a Small Business During a Global Pandemic
Well… where do I even begin? This year has been quite the experience. There have been ups and there have been downs. As a business owner, this year has been the most challenging year I’ve ever experienced. Closing my business, reinventing my business, educating myself on social injustice as a leader in the community, navigate […]
