Every year, I meet with my co-owner Emily to review our past year and plan our next year. Two thousand twenty prime goal was to become an 8A certified minority business. We were making slow steady progress. I believe we would have reached that goal within the year. However, the coronavirus pandemic stunned our business.
Then, our home was hit by a tornado. We had to evacuate the house with our go-bags. Now our personal life flipped upside down. For many months, our family lived in an apartment provided by the insurance company.
Two thousand twenty became the year dedicated to adapting to coronavirus while at the same time rebuilding my house. It was a very busy and emotionally draining year.
We have a do-over plan for 2021. Starting in January, we will once again begin work on becoming an 8A minority business. We are a certified minority business in the state of South Carolina. We also hope to re-certify with the Carolinas-Virginia Minority Supplier Development Council.
