In America, we don’t turn our backs on our neighbors when they need help. After witnessing COVID take my family & leave me struggling, I decided to create my own campaign to help citizens & business owners suffering during this pandemic. #ValueUsAlive #COVIDSmallBusinessCrisis
Earlier this year I spoke with @levelmag about the rise of vigilante white supremacists. During Black History Month I was forced to relocate my business and residence because the Ku Klux Klan was recruiting people in our area. #ValueUsAlive https://twitter.com/levelmag/status/1269624244557754368?s=19

The Paycheck Protection Program's loans did help "millions of small businesses" survive the COVID-19 pandemic, but also saw "billions of dollars being diverted to waste, and abuse" due to a "lack of oversight and accountability." #COVIDSmallBusinessCrisis
Businesses in underserved neighborhoods of Colorado say federal pandemic-relief programs didn't come through for them, so they are leaning on private foundations or going at it alone. #COVIDSmallBusinessCrisis https://coloradosun.com/2020/10/02/black-owned-businesses-ppp-struggle/
COVID has devastated small businesses across the country, but no group has been hit harder than Black-owned businesses. Nationally, Black businesses have been more likely to be shuttered and less likely to receive the federal aid they requested compared to other groups.
In times of crisis, the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe. #ValueUsAlive
