Twenty-five years in business and we're right on the corner of Michigan and Cicotte in Southwest Detroit.
The technology changed. The neighborhood changed. The economy changed more than once. The mission never did — making technology accessible, affordable, and understandable for all.
August is National Black Business Month. Support a Black-owned business near you.
The technology is the tool. The people are the point.
25 Years in Detroit: What Resilience Actually Looks Like
August is National Black Business Month, and I want to share the part of my entrepreneurial journey that never makes it onto a social media post.
All About Technology didn't start with a polished business plan and a launch party. It started with a decision to bet on myself.
Twenty-five years is a long time to keep a small business open anywhere. In that time, the technology changed completely — desktops gave way to laptops, laptops gave way to the cloud, and the cloud is giving way to whatever comes next. The neighborhood changed. The economy changed more than once. And we faced circumstances I would not have believed if you had described them to me on day one.
We adapted every time. We built out repair when people needed things fixed. We built out training when people needed to learn. We built out sales, services, and workspace when businesses and nonprofits needed a partner instead of a vendor. Every pivot came from the same question: what do the people in front of us actually need right now?
That's the part I'd want a younger version of myself to hear. Resilience isn't a personality trait you're born with — it's a decision you make again on an ordinary Tuesday, when it would be easier not to. Perseverance is that same decision, repeated until it becomes who you are.
We have never given up on . Twenty-five years in, we are still here, still committed to the mission we started with: making , , and for all.
If you're a reading this in the middle of your own uncertain season, hear me: the doubt doesn't mean you're on the wrong path. More often, it means you're exactly where growth requires you to be.
Support Black-Owned Businesses this month and every month. And if you're building one — keep going.
Always remember, the technology is the tool. The people are the point.
