In one of Seattle’s most threatened neighborhoods, a flower shop still blooms - The Seattle Times

November her landlord gave her a 14-day eviction notice. As news of Wesley’s potential eviction spread, the business development arm of Africatown Seattle jumped into action. They set up a GoFundMe in mid-December to raise $10,000 to cover $6,000 in back rent and utilities and get her back in the black. The community responded in a huge way. Within a week, the campaign blew past its target, raising twice the goal and is now at $26,000 and counting. Wesley couldn’t believe it. “I almost fainted,” she said, about getting the news. “I could not believe this could be happening to me. That was one of the most precious things that ever happened in my whole life.” But while it is tempting and gratifying to make this just another heartwarming story of good holiday deeds, it’s important to talk about the underlying conditions that led Wesley’s business to the brink. K. Wyking Garrett, the president of Africatown Community Land Trust, said Wesley’s situation speaks to larger problems and needs. Advertising “I think this just demonstrates the need for effective, culturally responsive business-development support in our community,” Garrett said. “Black businesses have been systematically disenfranchised through public and private policies and practices … [such as] redlining, not having access to capital and underdevelopment.” When the investments finally come, Garrett said, other communities reap the benefits. “That’s definitely not equity,” Garrett said. “All boats are not rising.” Garrett and Africatown want to see a targeted fund for small, historically disenfranchised businesses to access capital to better weather the storms. Technical and marketing assistance could also be provided to support small Black-owned businesses. While I am sure I will hear from those who say race and history are irrelevant to this story, they’re not. Over generations, governments and institutions created the wealth gap, excluded Black-owned businesses from opportunities and practiced outright discrimination, and private entities are making those inequities worse today through a rising cost of living and fighting higher taxes. The legacy of generational wealth inequality has led to a median family wealth today for white people of $171,000, in contrast to $17,600 for Black people, according to The New York Times. Institutions that created the problem should invest in the solutions to fix it. In addition to the incredible outpouring of individual community support and customers from the December campaign, Garrett and Wesley said nearby powerful and well-resourced institutions like hospitals and universities should add more Black-owned small businesses like Wesley’s to their lists of vendors. These types of contracts would make a huge impact on her business, and provide a foundation of revenue during tough times. If you can tell an organization’s values by looking at their budgets, how much of that big money is going back to small, minority-owned businesses? As much as Wesley appreciates the fundraiser support, she knows it’s not a long-term solution. “I just need customers,” she said. “I have to have customers.” Each day, we all ma...

Flowers overcomes illness, continues to grow for Seahawks - Associated Press

His efforts shone through against Minnesota when he intercepted Kirk Cousins on the first play of the fourth quarter in a key victory for Seattle that moved the team into first place in the NFC West.“I’m still learning that it’s just every day,” Flowers said. “You’ve got to come in and do it every day. Your technique doesn’t waste any time and it doesn’t matter who you’re going against, you’ve got to work it and keep working it.”Flowers lost 12 pounds due to the illness and he said he was scared to step on a scale again to see where he was this week. His commitment has helped the former college safety at Oklahoma State transition to cornerback and begin to find consistent success in his second season with the Seahawks.“It’s such a difficult position to play out there and particularly for a guy that doesn’t have it in his history,” coach Pete Carroll said. “He’s really grown into his own. He’s such a beautiful athlete and he’s such a good competitor, and he’s a tough guy. It’s great to see him coming through and making it.”Flowers has three interceptions this season for Seattle after not recording one during his first season with the team. Despite his newness to the position, Flowers started 15 games as a rookie. It was a work in progress as Flowers had to learn Seattle’s cornerback technique and how to see the game from a different vantage point.“He’s certainly worked his tail off and he’s always improving,” defensive coordinator Ken Norton Jr. s...
