ミスティー・コープランドさんのインスタグラム動画 - (ミスティー・コープランドInstagram)「I am grateful for the opportunity to sit down with @aliciamenendezxo, a woman breaking down her own barriers in the news industry, to talk about why this message felt personal for me and how the @15percentpledge is opening doors for Black entrepreneurs to access just a fraction of the wealth generated annually in our retail economy. Those of you who have started a business know it's not easy. I have poured my heart and soul and savings into @brothervellies and for years ran the company entirely on my own. This is the norm for small biz owners across this Country, which then becomes exacerbated for BIPOC entrepreneurs and it has to change. Yes I made a few mistakes as I found my path, but I want my peers to be able to avoid them with the opportunity, support, mentorship and resources often reserved for white, male entrepreneurs. I am proud of the dress I designed with @aoc for the Met Gala and proud that we got people talking about economic inequity in this country. Ultimately, we have to keep pushing forward. Away from those who continuously try to tear us down, away from those who will go to no end to police a congresswoman's body and to police a small business owner's personal finances. Women of color have always understood this, and I call on my broader community now to live this mantra -- forward.」9月21日 10時19分
