WOMEN'S EMPOWERMENT ORGANIZATION TO OPEN FIRST BLACK-OWNED SUPERMARKET IN THE TRI-STATE AREA
Nationwide -- Think Like a Boss, a women's empowerment organization founded in New York City, is planning to open the first Black-owned grocery store in the tri-state area. It will be called Seneca Market, and will act as a blueprint for future Black-owned franchises.
Think Like a Boss and its community of close supporters have already launched an online crowdfunding campaign aimed towards creating Seneca Market. The founders believe that the act of people of color supporting and uplifting each other is a foundational tenet to spearheading real societal change.
"We have to adopt the mindset that buying from and supporting black businesses is for progress and not just for protest," says Founder & CEO Alexandra Bernard Simmons.
