(Lay over in Omaha at Airport).......Today Omaha news said that it is BLACK BISNESS MONTH. Huhhhhh???

(update what was said again. Read bottom of page.)

Could there ever be a White business month?.... hell no! And NO other color either.


How the hell is there "black" everything without calling it racist?


What is going on in this world? You should have seen the people in the airport when they also heard the news report.

How is anything calling out ANY SINGLE COLOR okay? Black White Brown Purple Green etc... ONE color is wrong. It separates all of us.

OMAHA, Neb. —
Deborah Dogba started Business Seals Consulting Firm in 2018, but this isn't her first time owning a business.

"I do have experience, how business is done in different parts of the world," Dogba said.

She is from Africa and owned businesses there. She said the diversity of business owners in Omaha only helps the metro area.

"It enriches the culture and businesses here," Dogba said.

Dogba said there is a lack of black business owners. 

"There could be more. A lot of people have great ideas they just don't know how to put it together to make it a source of income," Dogba said.

"Its all about supply and demand. We're trying to make available services that you don't have to go as far to get," Felicia's Beauty and Barber Shop owner Felicia Russell said.

Russell said she's seen black businesses come a long way.

"I think right now we are in touch with the community and meet their needs," Russell said.

Russell has had her business for over a decade, but for someone just starting out finding the footing can be hard.

"As I'm learning while I'm doing this. There is no one here to show me who to talk to," Catering by Terrance owner Terrance Tilson said.

Tilson worked his catering business from the ground up using social media as the main form of advertising.

Dogba said she helps business owners that feel overwhelmed. 

"First step is to sit down with them and listen to their ideas and brainstorm and work on a vision," Dogba said. 

Just like many entrepreneurs the business ventures don't stop. Tilson already has plans for expansions. 

"My five-year plan is to have a couple of different locations up and running," Tilson said. 

"Omaha still needs those people to come forward and get help as much as they can to start their own business," Dogba said.
