At 342 Mad Solutions (Mad stands for Marketing And Design) the team decided it was time to offer their services, free of charge, to a company that needed a website. It started out with feeling grateful that they were still able to work, albeit at a slower pace, and increasing concerns about the community.  "We wanted to help by providing the tools that would allow a business owner to continue to grow in the long term," said Coyle. "During this time, I was also educating myself about systemic racism and other societal barriers that people of color have known all their lives. We decided that the best way we could help was to offer our web building services to a Black-owned business."  Coyle reached out to Tarnisha Cliatt at the Manasota Black Chamber of Commerce who put her in touch with Stephanie Joyner, owner and director of House of JBaby's Preschool. "I am so grateful for an amazing website that my business really needed," said Joyner. "Laura gave me exactly what I was looking for. I would also like to thank Manasota Black Chamber of Commerce for arranging this opportunity."
