5 Lucrative Industries For Millennial Black Business

5 Lucrative Industries For Millennial Black Business6

There has been a lot of talk this year in regards to black business. For instance, Forbes released stats indicating that black women were starting successful companies more than any other race. Quite a feat that is now inspiring other ladies of color to become entrepreneurs.

Also, there has been a major push to dominate and regain industries saturated with black consumers. Such a strategy is simple. Create a black business that serves a ton of black consumers whose support will in turn help to build black wealth in black communities. Sounds like a mouthful but the logic is an equation that will greatly help POC.

The Modern Black Business Strategy

5 Lucrative Industries For Millennial Black Business4

A popular movie saying goes, “If you build it they will come.” Therefore, if you give people something they want or desire then you have gained their support. In business, this translates to more sales and more wealth.

There are several industries that black consumers are not dominating as black business owners. For instance, how many black owned beauty supply stores are there? Most of us WOC complain about going to stores who either do not cater to our various hair types or cannot identify with products that our hair needs in order to be healthy.

What’s even more interesting is that black women spend more money than any other race when it comes to hair. Yet most beauty supply stores are run by other races. This billion dollar industry needs more black business owners. If we are spending the money why not reap the benefits as well?

Two black sisters made headlines this year due to becoming the youngest black beauty supply store owners. It took hard work and dedication. However, they opened the eyes of young black girls that entrepreneurship is a possibility. We champion that thinking and encourage all black women to make it their goal to be their own successful boss lady.

“Out where they walk, out where they run, out where they play all day in the sun!” Most little girls always dream of being a Disney princess. Simone Manuel is now definitely living the dream! In a super cute artwork by clothing brand Served First Manuel is seen chilling “Under the Sea” with Flounder.

In the pic Simone also rocks a crown and a gold medal! Very fitting due to her historic win. Served First recognizes just how huge Manuel’s achievement is and spoke on how they were inspired by it. They said,

“We designed our First Children’s piece aimed at encouraging young women of color that they too can achieve greatness in the face of adversity. The significance of her victory resonates profoundly with us as swimming pools have been a racially sensitive flashpoint in the U.S. for generations.

Historically, African-Americans were often denied access to swimming pools during the segregation era and long thereafter. In fact, we remember quite vividly how an entire pool was drained after actress, Dorothy Dandridge dipped her toe in.

With artwork inspired by the Little Mermaid, our nieces, sisters, cousins and daughters can now showcase their pride and affection for Simone.”

Details – How to Get Yours

The artwork is up for purchase. You can rock a Simone Manuel Little Mermaid tee to show your support of Black Girl Magic. BY THE WAY! We checked out the Served Fresh website in order to get the price of the Simone Manuel t-shirt and found out something cool.

Breast Enhancement Thanks to Good Old Exercise

Breast Enhancement Thanks to Good Old Exercise

If you are lacking motivation to hit the gym regularly maybe the thought of larger breast may help. Not all of us are born with awesome knockers like Tyra, Janet and Halle Berry. However, we can perk up our girls with a little effort and dedication. Here’s how to achieve breast enhancement thanks to good old exercise.

Breast Enhancement Thanks to Good Old Exercise

If it were easy everyone would do it. We are not going to kid you and tell you that breast enhancement through exercise is going to be a walk in the park. Nevertheless, it will not be as bad as you think. All you really need to do in the coming weeks is be consistent. If you are dedicated then a shapelier physique shall be yours!

The concept is simple: build and lift them up. To give your boobs a little more spotlight you need to exercise your chest muscles. In a world where everyone wants a better and bigger booty the chest can get ignored. Nonetheless, working out your chest muscles just two or three times a week can give you a sexier bust without going under the knife.

Breast Enhancement Thanks to Good Old Exercise4

Why Does Exercise Work?

As you know boobs are just glorified fat. Underneath these sexy fat gems lie your chest muscles. Strengthening and toning said muscles starts a chain reaction. Boobs become more defined and begin to rise.

For instance, when you do squats what happens in time? The butt becomes more toned and defined. It also heads north and lifts up. All of this occurs because of the muscles in this area being worked and challenged. This principle works with the chest as well.

What exercises should be performed to enhance the bust? Chest flys are excellent for making the chest even sexier. Here’s how to perform using dumbbells:

  1. Starting Position: Lie flat on your back then with a dumbbell in each hand. Raise dumbbells so that palms face each other and arms form a wide circle or arch.
  2. Movement: From the arch position lower arms to the side till you feel a stretch at the chest.
  3. Return: Lift arms back up to starting position and that is one rep. Think as in two seconds down and two seconds back up to the start position. Do 3 sets of 12 reps.

Old Fashion

If you do not own any exercise equipment an old school move can still get you results. Push-ups are classic and very effective. Moreover, since they can easily be performed anywhere there are no excuses when it comes to succeeding in breast enhancement.

Another way to achieve breast enhancement through exercise is to focus not just on the chest muscles. Strengthening and toning up your core muscles and upper back is also key. Doing so will help you stand taller instead of slouching. As a result, your chest will look even more elevated and alluring.

No one can do it like a badgal. The Rihanna W magazine September 2016 editorial is a moody masterpiece. Photography was lensed by the extremely gifted Steven Klein. Also, styling for the shoot was of course handled by the one and only Edward Enninful.

Nevertheless, we cannot ignore the exquisite makeup looks adorned by Rihanna. The extraordinary beauty looks were designed by the infamous Pat McGrath. Pat went all out even creating 3D art that intensified Rihanna’s facial features. As a result, RiRi seems to pop right off the page and she looks like she missed her calling as a supermodel.

However, don’t just take our word for it. Check out a behind the scene look of Rihanna’s photo shoot.
