Latoya, Owner of 79 Roze

As a result of being a registered member of the directory with KC Black Owned, I have gained genuine friendships and business associates landing deals with companies such as Black Panty, Ruby Jeans, the City of Kansas City Communication Department, H&R Block, Dicks Sporting Goods, and multiple wedding photography contracts. I would advise any KC business owner to register their business with KC Black Owned and watch their network grow.

We first met when she was looking for small businesses to interview on IG Live. I decided to break out of my introverted shell and virtually 'raise my hand' to volunteer. Ever since, Chelsey & KC Black Owned has been a constant source of support & encouragement that has helped me grow my business at my pace and get more contacts. She's done everything from helping to curate my social media posts to making introductions to several area businesses where I can sell my products. I wouldn't be as far as I am today without some very important people in my life and Chelsey is definitely one of them. I can't thank her enough.
