Hey Ya’ll! I remember when I was opening Studio No. 7 (the first time, pre fire), one of my liquor sales reps, with tears in her eyes, said how good it was to see someone like me opening a space. I was the only account that she had where a black woman was at the helm. This wasn’t that surprising. Her company only carried small craft brands. What I didn't realize at the time was how rare she was and that in all of my years in the industry she would be the only woman of color that I saw on the sales side.
Loved this. Thanks for sharing this, so many gems and (((much needed))) motivation.
