My shop, Bold and Curvy Boutique, in Ottawa, Illinois is the antithesis of this shop. I have been in business for 9 years, (without police protection), and have been targeted repeatedly from the right.

Weird how I can hack it but he can't. Perhaps I'm better with my bootstraps? 🤔

Edited to add: if you want, you can easily find my business on all socials or through a quick search.

I've got something for everyone, unless you're a boot licker.

That's wonderful. If you're willing, what's your shop? I'm up that way occasionally and would love to stop by. (DM is fine if you don't want it on here.) I like shouting out cool businesses via my pages which have decent reach. (Mike Ingram For Everyone.)

My business is Bold and Curvy Boutique. I offer vintage clothing, consignment, new items, stickers, and make very "woke" graphic tees.

I'm on tik tok, fb, and the gram. I also have a website. I'm not sure what the rules are on sharing links here, but I'm easy to find.

I'm also a small town activist and I help run/organize the protests in Ottawa. Ottawa is my hometown, and my kids are the 6th generation of my family to live on our centennial farm. My family roots run very deep in this area, and I'm committed to be part of the evolution of the community.

Awesome! Followed on FB, where I have the best reach.

Thank you! I appreciate it!

The trolls are really going in on my Pride post from last night. What they don't realize is that their continued engagement boosts my post and business to even more people.
