American Black Succeeds in Africa: Not Allowed In USA

While in Hong Kong, my tailor told me Fedex pilots have her make their uniforms, since they get something like $150 a year allowance. They are cheap things, she does it as something of a favor, and then gives the work to retired seamtresses who can no longer work fast enough to do regular business. Since the Fedex pilots can wait, it is a perfect fit, as these ladies take their time.

Of course, this would not be allowed in USA, or cost prohibitive to employ these elders, what with rules or regs.

Now comes a story out of Senegal, where a black woman from Detroit is doing good while doing well.
