Pro-Fit Performance is a health and fitness facility located in Stonecrest, GA.  It is owned by a dynamic couple who are dedicated to helping people get healthy and fit.  Kevin and Chamonica Peoples are not your average trainers.

Kevin Peoples is a former professional football player who has had tremendous success in his past endeavors.  He has become a local celebrity who has become well known for his fitness programs for athletes at all levels.  Many coaches of sports teams bring their athletes to Kevin so that he can develop a personalized plan for their improved fitness and performance.

Chamonica has also developed a following with local Atlanta residents.  One of her clients proudly told us that when he first started coming to Pro-Fit he was on high blood pressure medicine but now, due to his increased fitness, he no longer needs to take the medication.  In fact, everyone that we spoke to at the gym spoke highly of the training and results that they were experiencing.  We can tell, that the workouts were challenging but they all seemed to welcome the extra push from the trainers.

Kevin said that just like most entrepreneurs, he has experienced highs and lows, but he is ready to take the business to new levels of success.  There is a product line coming soon, and they are also looking at other locations for expansion.

Pro-Fit gym is currently taking new clients for personalized workout plans.  If you live in the Atlanta metro area, make sure you give them a call to inquire about their programs.

Simply Produce, LLC is a family and Black owned produce store located in College Park, GA.  They recently put out a Facebook post asking for the community to come and support their business.  For some reason, it's since been deleted, but we heard the call and . we want to make sure we amplify their request and spread the word.

Many of our majority Black communities are classified as being "food deserts."  This term refers to areas where you find more fast food and junk food options over fresh fruits and vegetables.  Simply Produce seems to be a much needed option for the people of College Park and the south Atlanta area.

Unfortunately, I have not personally ever visited the store, however their online reviews are favorable and the pictures of their establishment represent a business that values being neat, clean, and orderly.  You can visit their Facebook page and see for yourself.

Statistically, many businesses fail after being started within the first year.  That's just a fact.  When you add the additional hurdles and challenges that face minority business owners, those numbers get even worse.

There are many reasons that businesses fail, but at BlackBusinessList.Com we want to make sure that we assist those individuals who were bold and courageous enough to give entrepreneurism a shot.

If you live in the Atlanta area, make sure that you visit Simply Produce and let them know that we care and we appreciate the fact that they are trying to provide a much needed service in our community.

One day not so long ago, a very good friend of mine said that he was going to take me to this bookstore that he found in Morrow, GA.  He knows that I've been fond of Black bookstores since discovering them in college and he know I would get a kick out of this store.

When I saw the name of the store, Nubian Books, I knew I would be in heaven.  In front of the store was a Black author sitting at a table doing a book signing.  There were a few people gathered waiting to speak with her and inside there was r&b/hip-hop jazz playing.  Oh yeah!  My senses were under attack but in a good way.  They have just about every Black author that you can think of and they also sell Greek letter paraphernalia.  My wallet wasn't ready.  But seriously, if you're in the Atlanta area, you should definitely take a look around Mr. Marcus Williams' store.  You won't be disappointed.
