In honor of National Black Business Month, three Black founders weigh in on how we can support their beauty businesses right now. The reality is, running a Black-owned beauty brand is hard. This year, we’ve seen an onslaught of beauty brands shut down, file for bankruptcy, or be sold to acquisitions to remain afloat as a recession looms. Despite many Black beauty brands hitting record numbers in 2020—marked by the George Floyd protests and an increase in 15 percent pledges—the 2024 attack on DEI and a poor economy makes the current reality of minority beauty businesses more bleak now than before.

Creep grazing, in particular, has the potential to significantly increase calf weight gain, offering a ray of hope for producers. It’s important to note that both methods, creep grazing and creep feeding a concentrate supplement, have their own set of advantages and disadvantages. Hence, it’s crucial for the producer to research and choose the method that best suits their needs.

I find the pallet shelters to be more palatable than ice fishing tents. The Colorado Village Collaborative operates both micro-communities and the so-called Safe Outdoor Spaces with the tents. We all learned the tents are not safe when a fire roared through a CVC Safe Outdoor Space, destroying the compound quickly. Officials never disclosed a cause of the fire.
