LITTLE ROCK, Ark Professor Devin Robinson is the founder of Beauty Supply Institute out of Georgia. He states that last year in the U.S. alone, the beauty supply business made $50 billion, yet African Americans only own 3% of that market.
The beauty supply industry is a 96% ethnic market.
The majority of products are catered to African Americans. Despite this, many distributors and store owners are of Asian decent.
Tales from the Crib: Sainthood Apr 24, 2021 Kellie Reilly/Brisnet.com
While Taylor Made Sales Agency has a trio of graduates in the 147th Kentucky Derby (G1),
Sainthood has the deepest ties to the family firm.
Like Arkansas Derby (G1) winner Super Stock and Tampa Bay Derby (G2) hero Helium, Sainthood was sold as part of the Taylor Made consignment on behalf of their breeders. But Taylor Made President Duncan Taylor was involved in the partnership that bred Sainthood, Edward Taylor and Bill Nichols’ Springland Farm, and the yearling was initially purchased for one of Taylor Made’s investment entities. Moreover, the colt’s sire, Mshawish, stands at Taylor Made Stallions, and dam Lemon Hero was the veteran of several sales under the company banner.
Pastor Stephen, the 2010 Dan Patch two-year-old Trotting Colt of the Year and a winner of more than $1 million as a two-and three-year-old, is standing this season at Premier Acres in Indiana, and his 2021 stud book is now full and closed. We are very happy with the response from breeders, said Dean Miller, who co-owns Pastor Stephen with Taylor Made Stallions. He has had just a fantastic book of mares. Anytime you bring a horse like this back from Europe after missing the scene here for a few years, you can get a little nervous. Have to say thanks to the breeders that did come out and support Pastor Stephen, Miller added. And not just from Indiana, but we have been getting mares from all over the country.
