Support Black: Black Owned Businesses In Houston
mlifestyle.org

With all adversity going on, we, as a black community should stick together and support black. Sometimes we are so quick to give the white man our dollars but not our own. We spend hundreds on their business but can’t support our friends. We as African Americans are more powerful than people think we are educated, intelligent, beautiful, wise, graceful and business savvy. We come up with some many ideas just to get them stolen from us, but are past strengthens us for the future. For this reason, we should support blacked owned businesses.

In Houston, TX we have a quite few Dixie warehouse Private event hall, Kaffeine coffee, Lucille’s, Scrappy Browns, Lowbrow, The Library Coffee and Wine House, Midotown Grill, Jeanette’s Unique Boutique and many MANY more. Dixie Warehouse Private event hall is where you book the space and can throw parties and hold different kinds of events. Kaffeine Coffee is a nice coffee shop located on Almeda road; nice for sitting back and doing work while enjoying a nice cold/hot beverage. Lucille’s is a restaurant located on La Branch street that servers’ southern food.

Ben and Chris Williams the owners are endeavoring to continue their Great-Grandmother's legacy and carry it on. Scrappy Browns located on Almeda is a casual pub and grill with a patio. Lowbrow located on west main is a restaurant that serves’ American chow. The Library Coffee and Wine house just opened not too long ago. The coffee and wine are located on Scott street perfect for the University of Houston and Texas Southern students who need a quiet study place. The Coffee and Wine House also has a patio and is a really cozy. Midotown Grill is a modest diner open 24/7 offering all-day breakfast & simple American food, plus happy hour specials.

Jeanette’s Unique Boutique located on Bissonnet is an apparel and accessories shop. Houston Black Pages has many black-owned business on their website in Houston for more. I really encourage you to look at the website and has a lot of great information. Also, it shows you African American attorneys’, doctors, Churches, Beauty Shop and much more. Instead of going to buy something your use to I advise you to look at the website first you can find everything you need and BLACK. Even a lot of college students start their own business in college. A’ja Sells bundles called Authentic dream hair. Her contact number is 210-305-2009, instead of giving your money to the beauty supply stores you can give it to your own.

Rendell H. is the Owner of Morals Values Goals Clothing- Inspiration Through Fashion the brand was created and trademarked in 2012. The brand was created to give positive influence to consumers with timeless pieces such as tee shirts, pants, hats, etc. The brand is based in Houston, Texas and has been featured in local fashion shows and events, clothing can be view at their website or on social media on Instagram at hellomvgclothing business inquiries can be sent to mvgclothing@yahoo.com. Being said African Americans should help one another and bring each other up. We must do this because we need to strengthen us before we strengthen others. I encourage you to get out and your community and support black.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant
Brisanis

Working in the restaurant industry is possibly the most fundamentally challenging occupation I have ever experienced when it comes to hospitality and customer service. When you go to a five-star restaurant you expect the time of your life, a two hour getaway, a walk through another time period (rustic Italy, France, Spain, etc), or simply a honeymoon undergo. What you don't see are the behind the scenes scut work: carrying trays, polishing glassware and silverware, kitchen chaos, the list is endless. Now, I'm not saying being a host, server, or bartender is the worst thing in the whole wide world, there are definitely worse things. But the fact of the matter is that it isn't always sunshine and rainbows. In the two years that I have spent in restaurant and customer service, I have spoken my share of expletives, yelled at kitchen staff, and dealt with not-so-happy guests. It isn't easy to keep a bright and shiny smile on your face when all you want to do is choke every person who walks near you. Anyone who has spent even two weeks working in a restaurant understands the rigor and stress that comes with it. Restaurant culture is a tiny world in and of itself that operates on its own principles and creates its own society. It even has its own language. The sayings "runner", "corner", and "on a bus" wouldn't make sense to anyone otherwise. My mother and I both work in a restaurant and the best advice I can give someone going out to eat is to treat us like people. Yes...believe it or not we are people, people. Say "please" and "thank you", or stack your cleared plates before a busser gets to the table. Trust me, the gesture goes a lot farther than you may think.

So, if you work in a restaurant, you can relate with the following points. If not, check out how the brain of a restaurant service (or any customer service) worker actually works. See if you can identify any crazy weird habits your friends have a tendency to partake in.

One of the scariest things we will ever face in our life is going to college. Many of us move away to a new town, join new organizations, and make new friends. We are expected to study, have a social life, relationships, maybe work, and be healthy. It seems pretty easy to do, and in high school all we wanted to do was graduate and move on to this next chapter of our lives. If you are in high school, here are some things that you can learn from before you get to college. If you have already been through your freshman year of college, hopefully you can relate to the things I have learned in college.
