Looking back, realizing how far we came, knowing the vision once this shop opened things wouldn\'t be the same, letting the world see the progress on VH1, even though we work hard the crew can still have fun, but no matter how much fun you have it\'s always followed by pain, hoping that the sun would shine in the midst of rain, it\'s hard enough to see black owned businesses succeed, but when you have people behind you with the same vision anything can be achieved, yeah the world saw all of our trials and errors, but more than anything the world saw how we all stuck together, no matter how much we fought and somebody got shoved, this shop is a family and will always have love, people will always come along to put a block on progress for some reason, but let those people know that the weather always changes, a new season, so let\'s end on this note, let people hate until they get tired, but never let anyone stop what you all have created, the Black Ink Empire.....
