May is NYC Small Business Month, but supporting our neighborhood businesses is a year-round commitment. That’s why I met up with Council Member Shanel Thomas-Henry, who has been fighting to make it easier to start, grow and operate in NYC, and we brought in some extra help: Poorna Jagannathan, Asif Ali, and Saagar Shaikh to help spread the word. Whether you’re opening a barbershop, ice cream shop, bodega, or anything in between, NYC Small Business Services (SBS)@ is here to support you. 📞 Call

This industry will eat you alive if you’re soft. If somebody else’s opinion is enough to stop you, entrepreneurship isn’t for you. Me? I kept running my businesses. I kept making money. I kept serving my people. Because one thing I’ve learned is nothing happens TO me. It all happens FOR me. Every single time.
