NC Black Businesses

Lucky Spot Barbershop. It opened inside Walmart on Wilkinson Blvd. It is the first Black owned barbershop ever to open in a Walmart.
Shaun Corbett owns the shop. He says he always wondered why Walmart didn’t have a barbershop inside the store. Corbett approached management and worked on a deal for two years. He says he wants the barbershop to be called a community barbershop.
“The barbershop has always been the cornerstone of the community,” Corbett said. “Anything you needed to know from your gossips - to financial tips or whatever we talk about in the barbershop.”

Walmart says this partnership is not about dollars and cents, but more about connecting with the community. Walmart believes there will be a return on their investment.

A little advice from Kezia Williams --

Homecoming, the children’s book is a story that celebrates the culture of attending an HBCU homecoming. When I began teaching, students would ask what college and I attended and I soon learned that a lot of student weren’t aware of what an HBCU was. So I wrote a book to introduce young children to HBCU culture. Check out , on Instagram and Facebook. It will be available to order April.

A local man has become the first African-American to own a cultural art gallery in Raleigh.

Jason Franklin opened the art gallery along with his daughter, Ashley, who is the Art Director.
