Hello, and welcome back, hope you tuned in yesterday for our fourth black-owned business! If you are new here, grab a seat and check out what we are doing this month! Grab some snacks and get to reading. 

For Black History Month, Eta Sigma Delta Inc will be highlighting some of our black-owned businesses on the grid for the second year. These business leaders have been seen working very hard at what they do and showing everyone that they can and will do it. We want to recognize them for their hard work and dedication to their crafts. 

These businesses have made a positive impact on the community rather it was by recognizing their dedicated customers, giving out group gifts, joining into conversations with their customers on Facebook, or just by giving great customer service. We want to say thank you for letting us into your world and we commend you for your hard work and focus. 

Christy aka Big Sister Sweet & Sassy was happy to take a trip to check out the store on the grid.

Here is what our fifth business owner had to say... 

Our fifth business is MONCADA PARIS! 

MONCADA PARIS is a business that specializes in creating avatar accessories for SecondLife such as sunglasses, jewelry, bag, and more.

About the owner, Mehdi Moncada...

"I am a calm and friendly person."

MONCADA PARIS has been in business since 2018, four years but, he has been creating custom mesh and sculpty since 2006 and will continue for many more years.

We asked Mehdi a couple of questions and here is what he had to say...

Do you find it is harder for you to be a black-owned business specifically if a lot of what you design, creative, or put together caters more to black people? 

- "As an African, I did not find any difficulty to expand my business month after month I bet it's all about the love you put in what you do and people recognize it."

What makes doing what you do rewarding for you? 

- "The most important thing is to make my mom proud of what I'm doing and to make her happy and my business helps me a lot for that."

Typically how long does it take you to get 1 item out? 

- "It is all about complexity sometime one day and sometimes one week." 

What advice can you give to other black entrepreneurs trying to start their SL business? 

- "Trust in yourself love what you create success will come and be loyal."

What would you like to say to all of your supporters and customers? 

- "Thanks to all people that support my store year after year."

The Flawless Sapphires of Eta Sigma Delta would like to thank you Mehdi for taking time out of your busy day to give us a look inside your life. 

Please support this young man and continue to show love to our black-owned businesses in Second Life.
