Hello and welcome! 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 support this business.
Here is what our first business owner had to say...
Our first business is Billionaire Motors!
Billionaire Motors is a car business that sells cars and bikes. If you have not checked them out, the cars and bikes are amazing.
About the owner, Terrance Christenson...
"I own a real-life Carpet Cleaning Service And SL business"Billionaire Motors has been in business for 10 years and continues to grow.
We asked Terrance 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?
- "It's always harder when you're in the same business as racist people but that's what we have to deal with in life and SecondLife you just have to keep pushing!"
What makes doing what you do rewarding for you?
- "I never started doing cars to sell them I just wanted to make my own cars for fun but then people wanted to buy copies and the rest is history!"
Typically how long does it take you to get 1 item out?
- "We put out about 5 cars per month."
What advice can you give to other black entrepreneurs trying to start their SL business?
- "Make sure you enjoy what you're doing and not just doing it to make money because if you love what you are doing it does not seem like work at all."
What would you like to say to all of your supporters and customers?
- "We take nothing for granted and really appreciate all of the support because there are tons of carmakers in SecondLife they can spend their money with so when you buy from us it means a lot and we are a family-owned business my brother Swatchz and son Randall put in just as much as I do and I would not want to do it without them."
The Flawless Sapphires of Eta Sigma Delta would like to thank you Terrance 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.
Thank you for reading!
