Seattle black-owned businesses see surge in support

As protests and rallies continue across Puget Sound and the world, there's a push to support black-owned businesses hit by two crises.

Some people are choosing to reach for their wallets in order to promote change.

"It’s been amazing, I’m so happy, I’m so overwhelmed,” said Pamela Jacob.

Jacob has been serving up Caribbean food at Pam's Kitchen for 14 years in Seattle.

”Wednesday we sold out, Thursday we sold out. Today, I think it’s all going to be gone too,” said Jacob.

This year, which is already full of challenges, has Jacob feeling overwhelmed, but not for reasons you'd expect.
