Outta Yo' Cotton Pickin' Mind...Why Blacks Should Take Over The Cotton Industry?

from Mental Dialogue

KING COTTON is the cash crop that made America a world player in its formative years and the labor force that made it all go were ENSLAVED AFRICANS brought here to pick and harvest the cotton for free and reap no benefits. In 2019 cotton is still a worldwide cash crop, however the best cotton in the world arguably comes from Africa and the founder of SEED2SHIRT,TAMEKA PEOPLES, is setting the stage to disrupt the apparel industry with her VERTICALLY INTEGRATED manufacturing company that sources directly from AFRICA.  TAMEKA is looking to become the FIRST BLACK-OWNED apparel manufacturer of this kind in the U.S. since 1908 and visits the show to discuss her fund raising campaign and how AFRICAN-AMERICANS can set themselves up to disrupt other industries we have long been cut out of. MENTAL DIALOGUE asking the questions America's afraid to ask.  ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU THINK
