Hi Sierra!!

[@michellemaas8100]

Hey Sierra! This is a weird thing to ask, but do you fit into the clothes on your rack? I know you said you only have them there for colour but do you ever wear them? This comment wasn't meant to be offensive in any way, so I'm really sorry if that's how it came across. I'm asking because I would LOVE to see you in that light blue dress . . . I've always thought you looked so nice in blue and especially that shade . . . *Chefs kiss*! I would LOVE for you to take a photo in it if you can! Love your content, you have inspired me so much.

[@rebachick94]

Are those hair products why your hair has been looking so amazing lately? I started the curly girl method after your video so I might need to try those!

[@grinchussy]

How come there aren't clips of them explaining their businesses like your other vids do?

[@kaitlynlahr4139]

This is a great way to show us how to support, I’ve heard we should support black owned businesses but I never know where to shop. Thank you for this!

[@HydratedAndrea]

For inspiration, just start googling! That’s how I got into it. If you need a book, look up “black owned bookstore”. If you get hungry for a meal (for takeout rn, obviously) google “black owned restaurants in __city____”. So happy that black businesses are getting lots of love!!

[@ciiinn8]

I am a black owner business. I sell body jewlery such as waist beads & feet anklets. Hand-made & picked to perfection, all the way from Ghana. My Etsy shop is BeadsbyCin 🦋

I’m so happy you acknowledged that the natural hair movement was founded by Black women. I’ve been waiting for you to do that since you dropped the curly girl routine videos

[@MsTasha007]

Me too.

[@sohcae3861]

Yes me too because I’m a person coming from the experience of being told their natural hair was ugly. However now that our hair/ and what we can do with it a trend and people graze over the turmoil it took to reach this level of acceptance; it’s nice to credit the black women who started this movement!

[@ElizabethKC1994]

I have naturally curly hair and I’ve always accepted it, but when I was younger I had no idea how to style it or take care of it. It wasn’t until I had a fantastic black hairstylist to teach me how to embrace and let my curls do what they wanted that my hair reached its full potential. I will always credit her for my hair being as great as it is. and it’s so great that Sierra is acknowledging this now ❤️

[@pattiupton1499]

Shout out for your shipping info!! As a small business owner we get that all the time! "Where is my package?". That is our working joke all the time "We are not Amazon". Lol. Also since COVID most all shipping is seeing big delays. Great video- will be checking all these out!

[@KathleenAndEmmaShow]

Same! The struggle is so real right now 😫. I’ve had so many canceled order because they were “taking too long”. Keep in mind, all my products are custom printed t-shirts and one of a kind and I can’t control how fast my printing company works, especially since they’re based in Cali where covid is really bad. Small business products are the best and it’s always worth it to wait 🥰

[@SAK556]

As long as I know it has shipped I’m good 😂 I ordered face masks from a place 2 months ago and never got a shipping notice and they won’t answer me when I asked if it shipped..... they said they would ship in 7 days btw. Tell me you need more time and I’m good. Ignore me and I feel worried I was scammed

[@IJoniTells]

I love Sierra’s spirit. In one video she’s uplifting women, people of color, entrepreneurs, and even her dog! Lol! Giving me #SuperwomanVibes ❤️

[@jessicah2703]

I would have loved to hear from the business owners like you did for the two small business videos! If you do a part 2, please consider including this. There has been so much focus recently on making sure there's space for Black voices to be amplified and this is an opportunity to do so

[@maddiebock4263]

I was thinking the same thing!!!

[@aksez2u]

Good point! I really liked hearing from the actual people behind the products.

[@gracerichards5816]

I was thinking maybe it’s because they are not her subscribers so she wasn’t sure if they would be comfortable being on a channel they are not familiar with. Just my thought.

[@jessicah2703]

@@gracerichards5816 she replied to other comments with something of that nature. While I understand the reasoning, I think it would have been great to provide that option to the business owners. I'm not saying the way she did it in this video is wrong, but I do think it would be nice to include in the future 😊

[@shamszakhour6076]

I came here to say the same thing! Seeing a minute of the shop owner talking really puts a face on the small business and makes me feel even more motivated to support them. This does feel like a missed opportunity.

[@anniebanana3698]

Okay I just have to say... I could not stop smiling throughout this. I love you and I love how supportive you are of Black owned businesses. As a mixed-race woman going through everything that's going on in the world. Seeing you support these businesses and giving the messages you have, just makes me love you even more!

Nash + Pino is another small Black family owned business that is a vegan 10-free nail lacquer company so if you’re interested in more shades, you definitely don’t need to be nail polish free! Highly recommend! Also sitting in my Amber Richele oversized tee in Kelly green and I LOVE it! I want to point out to all the mama’s and mama’s to be that Amber sends you a free matching onesie/kid tee for your little when you order an adult item! I was so pleased with ours! 🥰🥰🥰

[@lilsheba808]

This was nicely done! There were a couple companies I was unfamiliar with so great finds! Also I'm glad that others have noted that Shea Moisture, though black founded is no longer black owned. The same is true for The Mane Choice. Now my favs that I think you would enjoy: - Cream & Coco for all natural soaps and feminine hygiene products - Camille Rose Naturals (one of several of my natural hair companies) - I think you would like the Fresh Curl and the Coconut Water style setter products - Christian Ray Candle Co. - I love her candles! Hers are eco-friendly and soy based! - Rue107 - size inclusive and super cute clothing and bathing suits. You will love the color and patterns - Lastly artwork and prints: So I have and follow so many artists but these 2 stand out. First we have Nae (@n43nae) and she does custom chibi prints for her customers (not sure if you or Steven are into anime but checkout her page!). Then we have Geneva (@gdbee) who makes these gorgeous, fantastical drawings and custom work. Take a look! I hope you like them😁😁
