MINORITY SHUFFLE
Minority Business Shuffle WL 4996 “You must prepare to win whatever you seek, and to win it by the most difficult rules the white majority can fashion.” Alas: “The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those they oppress…” Frederick Douglas

A Jack of All Trades, a Master at None. You Won’t Succeed.
Most people often see a “Jack of All Trades” as individuals who lack focus and can only do a little of everything, with generalized skills and no expertise. A Jack of All Trades is a title used as a complement to a handyperson that can provide a “one-stop-shop” service.

Black innovator from Canada: Carl-Edwin Michel
When I arrived in Canada more than 10 years ago, I wasn’t in Montréal right away. I was in a small city called Sainte-Adèle located in the Laurentians. It’s a beautiful place although I couldn’t help but feel a little bit isolated. Not only was I a young Frenchman treading upon Canadian soil for the first time, I was also one of the few person of colour in town. When I moved to Montréal the next year, it was different. It’s a big city and therefore much more diverse than a smaller one. This is multiculturalism at its finest whatever some may think about it. However, back then, TV programs in Québec were rather unicolour if you catch my drift. I didn’t feel represented that much.

Black Coffee as Black as Me
Art in the making. From the field to your table, it’s an art to make the drink you desire at the top of your morning. There are layers to coffee just like onions. When the green beans are roasting, they go through stages. Slowly through the pressure from the heat, they expand and crack. The gas they emit is like a scream from their insides.

12 Year Old Entrepreneur Tackles Real World Issues
At what age does greatness manifest itself in a person? Does it happen when we experience an act of injustice play out before our eyes, or when we see something miraculous-like a rocket leaving Earth for the first time, or is it simply implanted within us at birth? Rooting itself, spreading through our veins? Blossoming as we age, ripening with life experience? For some, I believe it manifests much sooner than others. The ability to see the world for what it is and what it could be. The calling to want to be a positive change for your community by bringing people together equally. By standing up for what’s right in the world. Trying to help everyone around you feel welcome, appreciated, and happy. Kumei Norwood sets the bar for all young women in the generations to come with her views on racial equality, feminism, art, and entrepreneurship at the ripe age of 12 years old.

An honest mistake
“There must be some mistake. I only worked there for three weeks. This can’t be right.” The finance administrator did her best to maintain the unicorn-perkiness expected in customer-facing service roles but Anita could distinctly hear the forced smile in that sugar-sweet soft tone.
