The Community Needs Your Insight To Help Steer Billions In JFK Upgrades

By Danielle Douglas, Queens Connection Team Activist and Southeast Queens Scoop Community Writer.

As I shared in the last post, a major aspect of the JFK Redevelopment Project is a thirty percent (30%) utilization of Minority Women Business Enterprises (MWBEs.) More specifically, there will be an emphasis on providing contract opportunities to local business owners of Southeast Queens.

. 

Although, the Port Authority is in the embryonic stage of identifying services that can be provided  to the Southeast Queens small business community, an overview of some of the initiatives the Port Authority would like to implement was provided during the Community meetings. 

What do you need?

The MWBE Coalition Group of the Queens Connection Team has developed a survey to identify who are the small businesses in the community and what are the key challenges they are facing.  We would like to hear from you in regards to what you need to start and grow your business. 

You are a stakeholder.

The goal of the survey is to give you a platform to have your voices heard.  A major component of a true partnership with the Port Authority is for them to hear what the needs of the community are.  We DO NOT want the Port Authority to develop and implement initiatives without input from the people they are supposed to be helping. 

You are also welcome to come to a MWBE Coalition meeting to provide input as well. Our next meeting is Monday, August 20th. Start time is 6:30pm. Our meetings are held at Greater Springfield Community Church which is located at 177-06 129th Avenue, Jamaica, NY  11434...

Is Protesting The Best Long Term Strategy To Address Economic Disrespect?

By Kamau Austin

Recently a horrific video went viral of a group of Black women being beaten with broom sticks and restrained by Asian owners of a nail salon in Brooklyn.  Allegedly the attack was the result of one of the Black women not being satisfied with how her eye brows where serviced.

I don't know what happened at the nail salon (the accounts by both parties is in dispute) but the vicious attack on a group of Black women, because of a disagreement on eye brows or nails, is just unacceptable.  Even if the Black women were wrong not to pay for services rendered to resort to restraining and beating Black women like animals will no longer be tolerated in our communities.

All business have to have good customer service and treat their customers or clients with care.  Let's "Boss UP" to address our economic issues.  While I feel protests are warranted to show our displeasure I think more Black women should start these businesses in our communities with an eye for good customer service and relations with other Black women.

This is why I am showcasing the clean, trendy, comfortable, and beautiful Black owned nail, lashes, and aesthetics salon: Beautique.  Beautique, is owned by young Te-Shey Green.  Ms. Green's shop is a new one in Southeast Queens, and is located at 188-11 Linden Blvd, St. Albans Queens.  It is only 20 minutes from Brooklyn by car or the LLRR if using public transportation.

Let's not just protest and complain about bad treatment from people doing business in our communities.  How about we change our buying habits and replace them?

Please support this promising business establishment and Te-Shey Green.  Call 929-405-0181 (and tell them you heard about their beautiful looking business on the Southeast Queens Scoop) or visit their website.  See more pictures of this beautiful nail and aesthetics salon below...
