Transcript. What follows is a transcript of the video above, in Caleel Meneweather’s own words. It has not been rewritten, and no part of it was drafted for them.
What's up, Havana Nation? I'm coming to you to give you three small business owners up in the community that have meaningful impacts on others and inspires me personally. One is Renee Graves. She inspired me. She has a tax company and an event decoration company, and she brings a positive to it. She helps people from all around the city, Chicagoland, from the suburbs, and she keeps the flow of her events, her becoming a tax professor. She is very in tune with everything she has. Another one is Alicia. She helps with everyday needs for males and females that want nails done, eyebrows, multiple wax, face wax, all a lot. And she brings a positive in the community from people that really is strict on their hygiene, people that really pays a good dime just to keep their hygiene up. And another one is Roy Manyweather. He's a big brother and a mentor. He helps with the community of transportation, picking people up that stuff with towing company, and it's all through a family. He built his own brand into his family business, and it brings a positive to know that you have somebody in the family that'll help no matter what. But it's for you to fix yourself and be obligated to work with somebody, with all three of them, because there's not a lot of people that you can come along with. Thank you.
