March-We Can Do It box; these Black women business owners have taken over! The first 2021 box featuring all women.

"Most people move only the dirt it takes to bury them." It can be morbid or pessimistic to some but to me I read it as one of the purposes of life. We all want to move something in our lives, be it whatever you want. We all want to make a statement and a lasting impression. To be remembered and not forgotten." inspiration from our featured artist Rajine the Queen

These eight women have businesses that carry products that build healthy lifestyles, promote creativity,create conversations and build cross country connections. As one off the comapines this month is from New York.

Melissa Lucille owner of Sweet Lucille's is amazing self taught cake designer and artist. Her work can be found at Rob and Lu's Kitchen Featured in the March-We Can Do It Box.

Owned by the husband and wife duo, Robert Alexander, and Melissa "Lucille" Alexander. When working a 9 to 5 was not cutting it for their family; while their employment was paying the bills it was not feeding their creative nature and was taking precious time away from their 3 sons!

So with Robert being a trained chef and Melissa being a self taught baker and cake decorator it only made sense for them to put their talents together and make magic! They both took a leap of faith and put in their two week notices and went full throttle with their business plan! Robert caters events, and Melissa makes the sweets!
Their mission is to bring high quality, unique, and delicious flavor to the community, and they hope to open a brick and mortar bakery and food truck in the very near future
