2yrs ago today. This feels like forever ago. Such a magical time. We sat and talked that evening while the shop was closed.

I had received a FaceTime from Mr. Stevie Wonder and his wife a year prior when they received their first SpiceBox (I didn’t even know they knew my shop existed 😩🙌🏾). They told me they’d come meet me in person and they did.
—
I hadn’t acquired the commercial property yet. We talked about my plan to purchase Black and Forth. I told Stevie Wonder and Toomeka that I was waiting for the contract approval at the time and he and his wife assured me that it would all happen. They spoke so highly of my capacity to build. I felt so inspired and honored.

Their energy >>>

Fun fact: was the first celebrity to support my business. She ordered practically everything and then told me to double the order and charge her full price. This was such a huge deal for me at that time.

Since then folks like have also patronized my business.

I love all y’all!!
