ETA: APO doesn't seem to have a vendor/licensing policy. I am hoping to arrange something with 3 Sisters Embroidery as I really like their work.

I may've told this story before:
I was at a leadership conference almost 10 years ago and this Soror had a table. She was selling items at about $10 more than the 'nalia store a block away was selling them. So I told a couple of the people at the table that there was a black owned spot like 5 minutes away. The Soror was understandably annoyed with me and said "I'm a certified vendor, Soror."
Certified vendors are a great idea but that doesn't mean they can overprice.
Sorry, T La Rock, LL killed it.
