This young entrepreneur was a delight to work with. Essence did an excellent job highlighting her strengths as a business person. Essence is typical of the new generation of African American young adults building business for black wealth and legacy.

Thank you Ms. Roberson for your vision and drive to create Black wealth and legacy for your family.
