Mar. 1 FORT WORTH When Paul Andrews lost his job at General Dynamics, he didn t wait around for a new opportunity he created his own.
Andrews, founder and CEO of TTI Inc., knew there was a growing market for electronics components and began selling parts out of his Fort Worth garage as Tex-Tronics. It was 1971 and the gig was meant to be a short-term operation to bring in a little income while he looked for a more permanent job. Over 50 years Andrews grew TTI into an international company with more than 7,000 employees and over 130 locations in North America, Europe and Asia.

Kirk Franklin is helping to shine the light on a Black-owned small business, right in his hometown of Fort Worth, Texas.
Franklin performed during the first-ever iHeartRadio Living Black! show, during which (with the help of his band) he performed Love Theory and I Smile in Fort Worth s own Black Coffee. Wearing a sweatshirt featuring Breonna Taylor, Kirk gave an energetic performance right in front of the coffee shop.
But, before kicking off the performance, Franklin chatted with Black Coffee s owner, Mia, who revealed where her coffee shop got its name. She explained, That was my first experience with coffee my grandparents used to drink black coffee every Sunday, I m a Black woman in a Black neighborhood, so it just fit.
