BLACK MOM, FORMER INMATE WHO WON A GRANT FROM BEYONCE, EXPANDS CHILDREN'S UNDERWEAR LINE

Yolanda Perkins, founder and CEO of Undies by BlendiTone, a line of underwear for children of color, has overcome a lot of obstacles in her life. She has transformed herself from being incarcerated in prison to a successful entrepreneur who promotes representation for Black children. She also is an advocate for the restoration of former prison inmates.

Yolanda couldn’t have predicted what the Beyonce Effect would do to catapult her children’s underwear line into market exposure, but she is thankful and excited about her journey to making a dent in the industry.

“I see the reaction from my kids when they see faces that actually look like theirs on their underwear, not a Disney character that doesn’t look like them. It’s a sense of empowerment, and I want to give that to Black kids all over the world with this line,” she explained.

MISSISSIPPI GULF COAST BLACK BUSINESS GROUP RAISING FUNDS TO SECURE SUPPORT FOR NEW CO-WORKING SPACE

The Mississippi Gulf Coast Black-owned business group (MSGCBOB) is reaching out for help in completing the rehabilitation of an empty strip mall space into a co-working space for budding entrepreneurs and small businesses.

Organizers of the GoFundMe page say that they were in the middle of moving forward with the initiative using their own resources as well as those donated by the building owner to rehab the 9,000-square-foot-space. However, a recent inspection revealed the unexpected and unbudgeted need to replace the entire sprinkler system at an estimated cost of $50,000. The building owner has agreed to supply additional financial resources, but MSGCBOB organizers must also identify additional funding to support the sprinkler replacement as well.

“We are extremely grateful for the generosity of the building owner in supporting us in this effort,” said Alexis William, founder of the online community of Black business owners and supporters. “We went in knowing that it would need some rehabbing, but this was not a cost we had anticipated. As is often the case for us, we rarely get opportunities where everything is perfect. We always have to come from behind and work hard to make up for a lack of resources, especially financial ones. But BIG dreams always require heavy lifting and we believe that our dream of seeing this reach fruition is worth fighting for. So, we are asking for the public’s help because we know there are others out there who believe in efforts like this that can positively impact the entire community.”
