<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">setbacks<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u201cAs a distributor, you\u2019d get excited when a major retailer<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:

But the payment wouldn\u2019t come right away,\u201d he explains. \u201cI\u2019ve heard stories of her getting frustrated with retailers and confronting them, but that was the nature of the business. At a certain point, my mother decided she didn\u2019t want to deal with that anymore.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the end, she shifted her focus to her own retail stores, scaled back the distribution side, and expanded the retail part of the business she could control more directly.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> commitment to the community paralleled her business drive. \u201cShe was a strong supporter of Camp Jumoke, a camp for children with Sickle Cell Anemia.
