Ep 86 - Developing a Community with Dominick Lewis

In Episode 86, we speak with Dominick Lewis, the mastermind behind Photodom—the first Black-owned camera shop in Brooklyn—as he breaks down how building community has been the key to his success. From day one, it wasn’t just about selling cameras; it was about creating a space where film photographers could vibe, learn, and grow together. Dom talks about the power of support systems and how you can accomplish more when you move as a team. With his background in engineering and a passion for film photography, he's been able to build a business that’s more than a store—it’s a movement.
