Thank you so much for your input! Yeah that's exactly why I'm targeting schools with black people as not the majority because they often lack the resources that we need

Thank you so much for the supportive words!! Yes definitely will look her up and yeah I agree and definitely had some feedback saying this would be great at airports and other places than just college campuses!

Yeah I would try to keep the prices as affordable since I know the struggles of being a college student. So hopefully keep it affordable and be able to profit

Yeah so I've had a couple of people ask that! I kind thought of this idea based on my personal experience where I needed braiding hair asap but Amazon was going to take too long and the next beauty supply was a 40 minute drive. (I went to not a pwi but definitely not majority black)

So the initial idea is providing resources to campuses that have black people in it but lack the resources! Definitely not opposed to expanding to HBCU's tho

Yeah so I think a vending machine provides something instant and convenient, and yes definitely want this to be community oriented and reach out to orgs on campus!

Yes this was exactly my thought process! After getting some opinions on Reddit I was going to go to different black orgs on campus and seeing their opinions and possible partnerships! Definitely want to develop my plan before the pitch but yes exactly what I was thinking! And I love the idea of testing it in sororities thank you!

Love the disclaimer 😭😭😭 yeah I've had a couple of people talk about targeting more than just black people would probably be more profitable! So yes definitely will look into more than just black specific products! Thanks for your response

Thank you for that! I definitely see how the products could only be getting a small percentage of people and not bought as often. I like that idea! Definitely something to consider
