‘During these extremely tumultuous times our businesses have been hit hard and as a Black Owned and Operated Business we understand the true impact of the pandemic and the economic cost perhaps more than most. It is our pleasure to shine light on Black Women owned businesses and the women who build them. Their stories will serve to inspire and empower other women with desires to make Boss Moves”, says Karen E. Slade, Vice President / General Manger KJLH Radio Los Angeles.
