Max Out Time W/ Aj Ii

This week on a special episode of Max Out Time: The Jones sisters of DC's Southwest Soda Pop Shop discuss their Black business and its triumphs after social media success and nationwide support through the Black Lives Matter Movement. Similar to most Black-Owned establishments, the pandemic crushed this ice cream parlor last spring. Then a viral tweet of the shop’s go fund me page helped salvage and revitalize the business for good. We discussed running a family-owned business, advice to Black Women in this climate and operating a restaurant during the height of a global pandemic. For more on the shop’s success and new treats, follow @swsodapopshop on social media. This podcast is now sponsored by SW Soda Pop Shop, the only Black-Owned establishment on the District Wharf that keeps sweets simple.
