I can still remember every corner that I passed while walking eight blocks from my childhood apartment home in Chicago to the Harold's Chicken Shack on 83rd and Ashland. With a few extra dollars in my pocket, it was hard to resist the seductive smell of fresh-fried chicken and Chicago mild sauce. It wasn't until much later that I realized how important this experience would be to activate my passion and advocacy for support Black-owned businesses.
