In this episode we speak with Christian Sargent CEO of Vicky Cakes Pancake Mix which is a healthy substitute for pancakes for vegans and for people who want another alternative. We discuss health eating options in the black community and our ways to access better food. Christian is from Gary, Indiana and she speaks on the importance of buying locally in her community. She wants people to know that her business is ready to compete with the company Aunt Jemima who holds the majority of market share in her industry. 

Christian knows that this is a big goal but she wanted to point out the fact that Aunt Jemima isn\'t a real person. Also, that this character is being used to target the black community and that no one black owns this company. Christian states that she will be the person to promote Vicky Cakes for the fact that she is a real black woman and that her identity is not imaginary. 

Lastly, we touch on how black culture is being used to make others wealthy and that we need to apply this same system to our own businesses. Changing the mindset first is what Christian aims to do which is aligned with everything we do with @HBCUstartups.

We are excited to see this business grow!
