I have two pairs of Moonlight Rollers and I love them. I am definitely sad that she was unable to manage her business correctly. I'm not ready, however, to say she was being intentionally fraudulent. I think she just wasn't ready for the growth and the issues that come along with it. I hope she is able to recover from this experience. Our society is so quick to kick a person when they are down, especially women and people of color.

Dang, that’s so disappointing!!! I was really happy to have a black owned skate company out there doing so well. And then this. 😔 I feel sometimes small businesses need to keep things small for as long as possible so they aren’t overextended and end up where they can’t pay what is owed. It’s a delicate balance, but yo, why would you think you won’t be called out?! 😅 We are feeling a collective disappointment.

really disappointing news! i heard about them originally right after i started skating and had been planning on getting a pair ever since. glad you made a video about it!!

Everyone is disappointed that what looked like a gem ended up being a turd. It's strange that no one has taken up the torch she dropped. I hate it for everyone who got burned. But in meeting that girl briefly it was plain to see she wasn't business minded.

Jennifer Greene may have said it best: "sometimes small businesses need to keep things small for as long as possible, so they aren't overextended.." - especially without [vertical integration?], with your own factories & labor supply at the manufacturing end, or at least the economies of scale [& resulting prioritization] that huge wholesalers & huge retailers have, covid-era & post-covid semipermanent/permanent changes to factories' production runs, supply chains, & parts availability, & modern computerized 'just-in-time' shallow stock practices, can make what look like growth opportunities into total disaster for a small company. Even pre-covid, too-fast growth was a recipe for disaster, but during the pandemic & post-covid, all the old rules for global [manufacturer; vendors; contracts; prioritization; shipping; wholesaler; stock; retailer] business are obsolete. (Sorry for the run-on sentence).

I'm so glad I didn't get their skates and instead went with the Luna skates. Almost two years later and they're still going strong.

I wanna see you post another update ok Moonlight Rollers

Ordered a pair a skates over a month ago and had to follow up numerous times before their customer service manager responded. I ended up disputing the charge with my bank after seeing a thread on reddit about what is going on. I got an email yesterday saying my skates should be getting back to them this week and will be shipped out. But at this point, I am sure thats a lie and will be purchasing Moxi Skates asap! So So terrible to see this company go down the drain!

This is such a shame... I wanted a pair of moon boots sooo badly, their design is like my ideal boot design (as a comfortable begginer)... Shame shame.

I was looking forward to buying from them too.

Dang. I definitely wanted to upgrade to these later on. I hope she is able to revamp and do better later on!

I am so disappointed. I was so excited to get some of the skates. Black and women owned I was super excited. I'm very scared to look at some people's commentary.

Well it’s not really too hard to get in the skate game just do what you say you are going to do and exercise good judgement. They already had a good and loyal following all she had to do was not mess it up🤷🏽‍♀️. They really sad thing is this will make it difficult for any other black owned skate companies that come after her.

Interesting video considering the last video you posted, you were telling everybody to go buy a pair of these rental skates.

Shoot I just ordered a pair before watching this. Do you think I’ll be able to cancel my order?
