Sharing thankful for this opportunity💚
Inspiring U Therapy, LLC, a safe space where you can come as you are and Lisa Baker, the owner & therapist, would welcome you. Lisa has been a beloved member of the community and has been working to assist young children and adults who may be struggling with intrusive thoughts. She recently patented and created the Mental Health Toolkit complete with items that soothe the 5 senses! This toolkit has been translated to ASL, Spanish, & English. 💓
We asked Lisa if she had any advice for rising black entrepreneurs and she recommended:
"I would say the first thing that you need to do is do your research. Talk to friends and family. Collect data to ensure that what you want to do -- there's a need for it in the community. Because the last thing you want to do is come up and start a new business adventure and there really isn't a need for it. Within the community, hopefully, you can find someone that can be a mentor to you and that person would be vulnerable enough to share with you some of the struggles that they went through so that you can hopefully not experience or go down that road. It's also important to note that that person may be able to take you up under their wing and show you the ropes and how to go through and navigate through various business systems in the community."
So, Happy Black History Month! It's important to always choose black owned businesses every year and not just during February or August. 💜
