Viral Tweet Helped Save This Black-Owned Ice Cream Shop During Pandemic

Four sisters from Washington, D.C., opened up the Southwest Soda Pop Shop just two years ago, but once the pandemic hit, their ice cream business took a huge hit. They posted on Twitter asking for help, and the money came rolling in! Nearly $40,000 later, they are able to keep their lights on and continue working thanks to the selfless acts of strangers.
