🖤 The JASTINATIONS Apology 🖤
As a Philly influencer, I know that my platform carries weight, and with that comes the responsibility to not only promote but also to protect and uplift. Today, I want to publicly and sincerely apologize to Jordin, the powerhouse business owner behind @Your Answer 🤍 , a Black-owned business here in Philadelphia.
Jordin asked something of me that she deserved, and I didn’t deliver. As a Black woman, I can’t believe I fell short in showing up fully for another Black woman—especially one building something so beautiful and important in our community. Accountability matters. Honesty matters. And if I’m going to call myself a content creator, then I have to be willing to stand on those values.
From the bottom of my heart, Jordin, I am sorry. 🖤
To show that this apology is more than just words, I am blessing Who Got Sweets with $50—and I challenge my fellow Philadelphia content creators to do the same. If you can’t bless her monetarily, then bless her with what we do best: show up, do a review, share her page, and spread the word. We all know how hard it is for small Black-owned businesses to thrive, and together we can create a wave of support.
This city is full of beautiful, hardworking, and innovative Black creators and entrepreneurs. Let’s make sure our actions match our words and that we never forget our responsibility to one another.

Supporting Black-owned businesses like Who Got Sweets, founded by Jordin, goes beyond monetary donations—it's about community-building and raising awareness. Who Got Sweets has been thriving in Philadelphia by creating unique desserts such as peach cobbler cinnamon roll cupcakes and chocolate-covered strawberry cookies, catering to events and building a loyal customer base. As a small business owner, Jordin has earned her LLC and continues to expand her impact through city events and personalized customer service. Influencers and content creators have a powerful role in promoting these ventures by sharing their experiences and honest reviews on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram. Even if direct financial support isn't possible, amplifying a brand's story and connecting with others helps increase visibility and growth opportunities for entrepreneurs. Philadelphia's community is full of innovative Black creators who face unique challenges in gaining exposure and resources. By supporting these businesses with genuine engagement—writing reviews, attending events, or simply spreading the word—we help create sustainable success. Accountability and authenticity in these actions are essential, as the recognition and respect Black entrepreneurs deserve often come through the dedication of their communities and allies. The call for influence and participation within the city highlights the collective effort needed to foster an environment where Black-owned businesses not only survive but flourish. Taking part in initiatives like blessing Who Got Sweets with monetary gifts or offering time to promote them reflects a broader commitment to uplifting one another. This community-oriented approach ensures that the voices and talents of Black entrepreneurs continue to shine brightly in Philadelphia and beyond.
