Request for Comments on MBDA Rural Business Center ProgramMBDA is seeking public comment on various issues related to rural areas and rural minority business enterprises to inform the agency and provide fundamental information regarding this sector of the economy.
2022 is coming in fast and furious. Much like the cars my Auntie and Grandma drove in their moonshine days. I told Jay Leno about it on You Bet Your Life!
The face of a West Virginia moonshiner in America’s consciousness is not Black women but there is a thick history here.
Winning a game show was fun. (yes, I won)It reminds me of two of my favorite poets, Gwendolyn Brooks, a five-time Jeopardy champion, and Doug Van Gundy, who won “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.”Perhaps I have some moonshine poems in the still!
But, I always feel like a winner with your support even without Jay and Kevin!Thank you. And, a special thanks to artist Liz Pavlovic who is donating50% of the proceeds of the Abominable Joe Man sticker to BBG!
We appreciate all your donations, time, and talents toward building BBG. The Legislature is going to keep us busy. We hope to be a resource and share information with you over the next 60 days.
We highly recommend signing up for Mountain State Spotlight Power and Possums newsletter.
In Gratitude,
~ Crystal Good
