“Our sales have gone down tremendously”
Katrina, founder and CEO of Lil Mama’s Sweets and Treats in Augusta, Georgia, described how recent economic policies and uncertainty have negatively impacted her small business. Located in the VA Medical Center building, her bakery has experienced a 10–20% drop in sales over the past few months. Tariffs and other Trump policies make it difficult for her to plan, retain current employees, or hire new ones.
