Hi Shai! The best place to start is the Small Business Administration. It is a government sponsored program that helps people like you get started. I don't know if there is an office in your area, usually they have them in larger cities. But, there may be a city that is close enough for you to get to. They hire a lot of retired people who have owned their own businesses and act as mentors to young people wanting to start their own businesses. You may also want to ask them about start up loans or govt help for a minority business if you are both women.
Here is the link to help you get started.

Hope this helps. I wish you the best of luck in your new adventure!
