Running a small business has been a “special experience” for Mimi Striplin, the 31-year-old owner of The Tiny Tassel in Charleston.
Striplin started her jewelry company nine years ago and opened her first brick-and-mortar storefront in 2021, where she also sells whimsical clothing designed by her mother and goods made by other Black women-owned businesses.

What the GA governor and AG has done to Trump and not done one thing that he has asked. the black community already like Trump..the actions from the gov, sets them off and they speak out.
The difference with President Trump, he identifies with all kinds.. he does not look down on any.. it shows and it’s nice.
