The word Supporter is natural for me. It was borne in me. It is in my DNA. My family raised me to have Black pride. We always had Black artifacts around the house. When the Buy Black Movement Supporter program came out, it was like, "Ok, great... This is what we are doing now... this is the thing to do!"
Being a part of this movement is great, because there's a whole group of people who think like me. We all understand how critical it is to practice group economics in our community. It's a matter of our survival at this point. Furthermore, the Supporter program simplified everything. They created a platform where we can buy Black. You can find everything here!
I love receiving packages in the mail every month. I really do. Even though I know what's in those boxes, I enjoy receiving that box in the mailbox. It's like getting a gift for myself.
I also like clicking on the new product tab to see what new, creative products my people have created. That is exciting for me!
Most importantly, I feel good about being a part of the solution. Everybody is complaining these days about what's wrong with the Black community and adding their 2 cents to it, and here we have a system in place that is a SOLUTION! That is extremely gratifying for me.
