This August 2023, the City of Cambridge will celebrate National Black Business Month for the second year. This month-long event highlights Black entrepreneurs like me.
Black Business Month was created in 2004 by Frederick Jordan and John William Templeton to uplift and celebrate Black businesses through the unique and enormous challenges they face. Cambridge began celebrating Black Business Month in 2021 in partnership with Cambridge-Somerville Black Business Network, Cambridge Local First, and the Sustainable Business Network.
This August, Cambridge is celebrating Black Business Month to recognize the importance of Black businesses to our local community and the national economy. Community members may join the celebration by supporting Black-owned businesses and entrepreneurs this month and beyond.

June is National Caribbean-American Heritage Month https://www.caribbeanamericanmonth.org/
In June 2005, the House of Representatives unanimously adopted H. Con. Res. 71, sponsored by Congresswoman Barbara Lee, recognizing the significance of Caribbean people and their descendants in the history and culture of the United States. On February 14, 2006, the resolution similarly passed the Senate, culminating a two-year, bipartisan and bicameral effort.
Since the declaration, the White House has issued an annual proclamation recognizing June as Caribbean-American Heritage Month.
It promotes the recognition of the contributions of Caribbean immigrants to the United States of America from founding father Alexander Hamilton to US Secretary of State General Colin Powell and Hon. Shirley Chisholm, the first Black woman to run as candidate for the President of the United States of America.

When I told friends I was making soap, they arched an eyebrow and asked me if I realized that I could buy soap at the supermarket. But as a Chemical Engineer, what would you have me do as a hobby, refine used motor oil?
By the way, what soap are you currently using? Chances are that it isn't soap at all, but a detergent, filled with things you can't pronounce. Check the label. It may say "body bar", "cleansing bar", or "beauty bar", but if it doesn't say "soap", it's probably detergent! Detergent bars will get you clean, no doubt about it, if clean is all you crave. But can you tell the difference between a love letter and junk mail? Between a Monet and those dogs playing poker? For those of you who are serious about bathing (and you know who you are), it's not enough for soap just to clean you and leave your skin soft. It has to be an indulgence that elevates the daily routine a little.
Making soap by hand allows the soapmaker the freedom to carefully select a blend of oils based on the characteristics each one will contribute. I use lots of olive oil for gentleness, coconut oil for fluffy lather and palm oil for a hard bar. I also use other oils for conditioning such as shea butter, mango butter and sweet almond oil.
In addition, the process used to handcraft soap naturally produces glycerin, a wonderful skin softener that is retained in the bars. Glycerin is wonderful for your skin, because it attracts and hold moisture to your skin. While all soapmaking processes produce glycerin, large manufacturers of “corporate soap” often extract the glycerin, then turn around and sell the glycerin to the cosmetics and lotion industry.
