We know we’re not the only small business facing this. If Wise has frozen your funds or disrupted your operations, speak up. These systems are supposed to support growth — not choke it. Let’s make sure this doesn’t keep happening. @Wise @kaarmann

This kind of delay might be routine for a large institution, but for a small Black-owned business. Payroll has been missed. Vendor relationships are strained. Momentum is lost. The disruption is real — and the silence from @Wise is louder than it should be. @kaarmann

Named after the Swahili word for “together,” its futuristic contours. Designed with bold curves, a low-slung browline, and full-coverage CR-39 polarized lenses, the Pamoja Black Sun commands presence while offering clarity, durability, and UV400 protection.

Inspired Inclusive and diverse? This is news to me, last I checked @MarchonEyewear did not carry any black, brown or asian owned brands. So what exactly does mean for billion dollar corporation say they "inspired by inclusivity in 2023? Il wait.
Marchon NYC Eyewear is inspired by diversity and inclusivity. They provide diverse styling, using high quality materials that feel as if your eyewear was made for you (Styles: M-5022 & M-5023). #MarchonNYC #MarchonEyewear

Look how cool those snow goggles were 😍. Hits home especially for us because we had to do research on the history of the eyewear industry (and it’s biases) to be able to create better fitting frames.
Centuries ago, approximately 800 years prior, the indigenous Inuit and Yupik communities residing in Alaska and northern regions of Canada ingeniously crafted small apertures on ivory and antler materials to fashion snow goggles. This innovative creation served the purpose of reducing eye fatigue and protecting against the harmful effects of snow blindness caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation emanating from direct sunlight as well as its reflection.
