According to data from the "Census Bureau and Bureau of Labor,” there were just over one million Black-owned businesses at the start of 2020. By mid-April, the ongoing effects of COVID-19 forced 41-pecent of Black businesses to shut down. That totals about 440,000 enterprises. Statistics also show women-owned businesses dropped by 25 percent. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, "Body and Soul" is still standing strong. It's a small Black-owned business on Trade Street in the heart of the Arts District in downtown Winston-Salem. Dana and Michael Suggs, wife and husband, founded "Body and Soul" in 2003. The cultural shop is four stores in one, including a book room, skincare and aromatherapy, art gallery, and boutique area.
