It Takes a Village Market (w/ Dr. Lakeysha Hallmon)

This week, J.J. & Shayna dig into the caucasity of Felicity Huffman’s two-week prison sentence, find a way to ghost-drag de Blasio (even in his absence from the third 2020 presidential debate), and untangle recent reports of black unemployment being at an all time low. (Is it really? 🤔) Our guest, Dr. Lakeysha Hallmon, founder & CEO of The Village Market, shares how her personal village of friends and family helped her launch a 100%-owned business, why she continues to turn down investors, and what the black community gains from circulating black dollars. Show Notes:Yo Business:Bill de Blasio Talks ICE, Sex Work Decriminalization and Why Black People Should Support His CampaignDemocratic Candidates Take on a Tough Opponent: Their Own Past SelvesBlack unemployment rate falls to a record lowInterview Jump: 21:55(It's our first remote interview!
