This week on #TheFriendZone , we continue our Black History Month Celebrations! We explore who really preserves Black history, what gets lost when stories aren’t recorded and how everyday people, not just institutions, keep our culture alive. We end with a simple challenge to preserve one piece of personal history before it fades.Black Business of the Week - Clean Design Home https://shopcleandesign.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoqQrzvties0L5rthjJWAB71_3IGX245mGTx4LFRhuyNeFnlO1IIWellness Segment - Diabetes Digital https://diabetesdigital.coCatch Dustin Ross Live! https://tickets.citywinery.com/event/dustin-ross-1vh9vmHey Fran Hey’s Amazon Storefront - www.amazon.com/shop/heyfranhey?c…9b11-63834e00ed6d#ListensLately:Camper, Alex Isley, RoseGold - SIXTEEN SUMMERS James Bambu, Durand Bernarr - Antidote J.
