Many of you know I published a book along with 31 of my friends telling of the challenges and triumphs of women. The book, "This is my story, but it is not my life", has done quite well selling in the thousands in a few short months. I am very proud of its success and many hearts it has reached around the world.
I have a passion for helping others. If you know anything about my story then you know I grew up with a lot of challenges and a lot of personal sadness. I have been receiving help from others for a very long time now. I think it is important to give back which has never created a problem for me, including now. I have decided to take 100% of the profits I have amassed from my book sales and give it to small black businesses in my community, especially those owned by women. Don't worry I have not gone crazy. I am sowing a seed and not doing anything I have not thought through.
The first business I identified is a small cupcake shop in East Point, GA. I only know it by driving by in a predominantly African American section of town. My mother loved to bake so I thought this first blessing would be done in honor of her. So very soon I will ambush this small cupcake shop with video in hand. I will learn more about them, hopefully fit in a tasting or two, then leave a financial love token. Of course I will share the video with all of you. Perhaps you will visit this small shop and get some cupcakes to take home.
My hope is what I am doing will spread. Perhaps this cupcake shop will pay it forward one day. In any case, I am trusting my heart. We all need to support one another especially now. I am willing to do my part to get something positive and tangible going in a community I love and believe in. I will continue giving until my profits run out.
Won't you help me by identifying other small businesses who might need similar exposure and blessing? LADETRA@NOBLEINSIGHT.COM
To God be the glory! To whom much is given, much is expected.
