Chocolateberries & Cream -- Chocolateberries & Cream is a greeting card company for lesbians of color, and our main goal is for every card to project the intimacy in lesbian relationships. Our cards tell lesbians of color that her relationship matters. There are many women who are involved in cross-cultural relationships. Those unions are just as important. That's why we can't limit the term "color" to African-American women. For Chocolateberries & Cream, it will mean all women, but we are choosing to put not only African-American women in the forefront, but also women of African, Asian, Caribbean, Hispanic, and Native-American descents.  http://www.touigroup.com/

TLS (The Lesbian Shopper) is a lesbian-owned and operated affiliate-based business. Being an affiliate-based business allows us to maintain a high-quality website at all times for our shoppers.  http://www.lesbianshopper.com

Business Services

Girl Power PC

Our founders Ailette and Sissy came up with the idea of Girl Power PC with hopes of being able to provide women with a positive place to purchase personal computers, parts and accessories. It was felt that women needed and deserved a special place where their questions, concerns and computing needs can be met without the hassles and misinformation of conventional buying from large retail outlets.

Our primary focus is to provide excellent customer service and support. With our detail oriented buying program, we take the guess work out of buying a PC. We intend to meet our customers expectations and needs by taking time to get to know our customers and assist them with purchasing a system that is tailored to their specific needs.

Our company is women owned and operated. Our friendly and knowledgeable female staff technician’s are perfectionists who can custom configure systems per our customers needs. To further assist our customers, we have an Network Specialist who can custom tailor plans and designs for those customers who require network based solutions. We even have the capacity to travel to your place of business for delivery, setup, installation and employee training.

This sistah can cook!!! Before opening her restaurant she had a business where she prepared weekly meals for extremely busy folks, and she would flash freeze them and bring them to your home. So every evening all you had to do was pop one of her loving prepared meals into the oven. She has a special gift for preparing food for people who need to watch their intake of fats and salt, yet want their food to taste just like what their Mothers/ Grandmothers use to make. Without a doubt Sharon is a culinary wonder. I hope all of us will pass the word and support this beautiful sistah as she brings her wonderful talents to our community. -- Brenda Crawford
