A girl I went to elementary school with flies to Thailand directly. The issue is blacks here dont travel so they have to work with middle men in the US who tend to have adopted white supremacist ideologies. When you go directly to the source they dont give a damn about race, they just want to make sure you are honest and can deliver the money on time. Black folks should quit wasting money tricking off in Miami and travel abroad to some of these African, latin american and South East Asain countries and find direct connects. Especially Latin America and Asia are dirt cheap.
They actually are rare when you look at how many blacks are in ATL for example. Less then 10 black owned beauty supply stores , yet there are at least 2-3 in every neighborhood. Theres a black owned shop in Smyrna I go to for stuff and thats how I found out there were so little in the metro area.
Good stuff breh
I'm gonna really look into this cause if our people won't buy nothing else, they will buy beauty supplies.

This is not the case from what I've seen being dragged around the metro with my girl
this is my issue with ATL they got a lot of business but they need more producers/manufactures.

How can you tell if a beauty supply store is black owned?
You are saying that there are 10 or more black owned beauty supply stores in the Atlanta area. Why would your girl need to visit that many stores?
The Asian beauty supply stores are staffed by mostly Asians and usually have a selection of wigs/weaves but include other non-hair cosmetics than these new weave/wig stores which only deal with hair that are popping up across Atlanta that are staffed by nothing but Black women and usually start off as IG accounts that sell bundles, pieces, etc...
My girl buys stuff for her family who live in places where the wig/weave selection is small and expensive.
In ATL there is a black beauty supply store owner organization and the one i go to have the others listed, there could be more though that just arent part of the organization, but from what i researched it was less than 10.
I've never understood the appeal of Instagram but from my understanding it is a great marketing/networking tool. I have seen women selling clothes on IG.
My criticism of Dr. Claud Anderson is that he focuses his message on middle-age people with secure jobs that they aren't usually in a position to give up. He needs to focus his message on young people with few responsibilities and little or no debt who are knowledgeable about social media and new trends and can start an online business with little money.
Dr. Anderson's figures on black business ownership are probably so dismal because he isn't counting internet entrepreneurs.
I've seen several black women on YouTube get endorsements from hair product companies. One did a commercial for Dark and Lovely. I know two women who started their own hair product lines after having successful YouTube channels. The woman who runs Luv Naturals lives in Maryland but has a company in Georgia package and ship all of the products. The other woman, Alikay Naturals, sells online and is available in Target stores. She also markets to non-black customers.
