Black-Owned Brunswick

When we first sat down with Morgan Polite in 2023, she shared the story behind MoeLashes&Mo Beauty Supply and her experience starting a business at just 24 years old.

Now 29, Morgan is celebrating five years in business this month. Since our first conversation, her business has grown into a 2,200-square-foot space, where she continues to operate Brunswick’s only Black-owned beauty supply store.

We caught up with Morgan to reflect on her years of entrepreneurship, the lessons that have come with growing a business in her 20s and what’s ahead, including the return of her annual Trunk-or-Treat.

Watch our conversation, follow MoeLashes & Mo Beauty Supply and stop by to support Morgan and her business!

Black-Owned Brunswick has always been about documenting and sharing the Black-owned businesses, people, organizations and culture that make up our community. As the platform continues to grow, so does my responsibility to be transparent about how this work happens.

I’m Courtney McGill, Founder & Creative Director, and currently the team of one behind Black-Owned Brunswick.

Some of what you see here happens organically. Some is paid. I accept advertising, memberships, partnerships, donations and complimentary experiences, and I believe you should understand what those relationships mean—and what they don’t.

So I put it in writing.

This Ethics & Transparency Policy explains how I approach coverage, paid opportunities, freebies, community relationships, corrections, civic information and editorial independence.

The goal is simple: give you the context you need to understand how the work reaches you.

(1/2) Davon Hill saw more than a restaurant when he acquired Wrap Happy a couple of years ago. He saw a chance to build on a well-known local brand, continuing to make fresh, healthy food more accessible to the community while bringing new vision and ideas to the table.

Davon comes from a family with deep roots in business and community leadership. From the corporate world and entrepreneurship to farming, each chapter of his journey helped prepare him for when the opportunity came along.

Today, Wrap Happy continues serving the wraps, salads, breakfast favorites, fresh-pressed juices, and other customer favorites that have made it a Brunswick staple. But for Davon, the business is about more than what’s on the menu. It’s about growing a brand that can serve communities far beyond its current footprint.

Sometimes all it takes is one creative project to change the direction of your life.

For Kristal Lynch, that project was planning her children’s birthday parties. She designed the décor and personalized every detail herself, then shared the finished celebrations online. Family and friends saw her creativity and encouraged her to turn it into a business.

Today, that journey has grown into Let’s Get Crafty Customs, where Kristal creates custom shirts, banners, keepsake items, and apparel designed to help celebrate life’s special moments.

What sets her apart is that every order is created in-house. From the initial design to the finished product, Kristal personally handles every step of the process to ensure quality, consistency, and a personal touch. She takes pride in creating bold, custom designs tailored to each customer’s vision, with every piece made with care, creativity, and attention to detail.

You can find Let’s Get Crafty Customs on all social media platforms, and visit the link in their bio for more information on how to place an order.
