Discover the inspiring story of Jacqueline Rodgers, the founder of Greentop Gifts, as she shares her mission behind creating a diverse holiday experience for Black and brown people everywhere. Her Santa-inspired wrapping paper, featuring Clarence Claus, a Black Santa, is a testament to her entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to the cause. Jessica and Brandon dive in to Jacqueline’s journey, from vision to tangible product, now on retail shelves, like Target. From designing her first two sku’s, to securing manufacturers, getting into retail, and writing grants, to being featured in Essence, People, and O, The Oprah Magazine, this is more than “just” wrapping paper and family jammies. It’s a conversation about diversity, the importance of representation and a deep dive into the highs and lows of entrepreneurship. Tis the season for this dynamic conversation, you won’t want to miss.
