Thinking of starting your own business? Well if you can cook African, Caribbean or Southern and Soul food here are three reasons why you should start a supper club.
- The glass ceiling, lack of diversity and inclusion at your work place, you are not included in positions of power in management or is anyone that looks like you. Frustrated? See Hollywood Oscars, ‪#‎blacklivesmatter‬, the gender, ethnic pay gap and gender pricing
- No pension in your future. Best to start your life time business now, build the future today and never retire. Support your family with flexibility
- Real opportunities exist for first, second and third generation African and Caribbean entrepreneurs in the food industry. There is a demand for African heritage. You are starting something you love
The last reason is a positive idea in your mind which must be greater than reasons one and two combined. If no and there is no motivational drive passion and love then do not start this venture.

..and for your future self. Heritage‬, culture and business
So our people not only have to be re-educated to the importance of supporting black business, but the black man himself has to be made aware of the importance of going into business. And once you and I go into business, we own and operate at least the businesses in our community. What we will be doing is developing a situation wherein we will actually be able to create employment for the people in the community. And once you can create some employment in the community where you live it will eliminate the necessity of you and me having to act ignorantly and disgracefully, boycotting and picketing some place else trying to beg him for a job.
Anytime you have to rely upon your enemy for a job you’re in bad shape.
Takes inspiration from Malcolm X
Finally Attend, support with your money and then give feedback to African and Caribbean foodie events in 2018.
