We think the city has had one for the books, and we're not talking about heat index. There were history-making music fests, yes, but one event was the most impactful in our estimation. See what it was: https://bit.ly/3Y0QTDH in our latest Creative Juice!

What's your favorite Black-owned business? What are your top three? What about your top three specifically in your city? Seriously, we're interested. It's National Black Business Month, and we're wondering what that looks like to you. To us, in one way, it looks (👁️) like a Google Maps 'Saved' list, with a sprinkling of labeled green flags dotting the vast street grid of Cook County. We've got Semicolon Bookstore (locations in West Town AND The Magnificent Mile® Association The Wrigley Building - Chicago(!)). We've got Black Ensemble Theater on Clark. Buddy Guy's Legends anchors the Loop. A bunch more. But then💡 what if YOU share *YOUR* Google Maps list with us? (👁️+👁️). That's two sets of pins filling in our Chicago streetscape. And whoa⚡what if you invite your friends and we invite ours and we all collaborate on a *METAPHORICAL (for now)* Google Maps SHARED SAVED LIST. (👁️+👁️+👁️) Do you see the map getting fuller? All of Chicago dotted, with labels noting why one, five, or fifty people can't live without each pin, each singular, loveable Black-owned biz. We're collaborating, and we're benefitting from every contributor's Don't Miss list, and each seeing with our own #thirdeye, as much as is possible, the landscape of Chicago Black Business. Wow. 🤯 Don't know if the metaphor worked, but we're vibing with it. And hey, one step further— at that level of collaborated celebration, we can then visualize pins in the third dimension, lifting off the map, marking businesses that are itinerant, mobile, or exist digitally, or don't have a traditional brick-and-mortar, yet or period. I'm thinking ChiBoys. 📌 Forty Acres Fresh Market. 📌📌 BRIAN THOMPSON FINANCIAL LLC. 📌📌📌 Refine Collective 📌📌📌📌 IT'S THREE-DIMENSIONAL! IT'S BREATHING!! IT CAN'T BE CONTAINED!! IT'S ALIVE!! CHICAGO BLACK BUSINESS IS ALIVE!!!! 🧟 IT'S ALIIIIIVE📌📌📌📌📌📌📌📌📌📌📌📌📌📌📌📌📌📌📌📌📌📌📌📌 Neighbors (and even non-locals), tell us your TOP ONE, TWO or THREE Black Chi-Town establishments/companies/LLCs/ and non-profits, because these all strengthen the local economy and community of humans in the City of Chicago. This is what we want for National Black Business Month 2024. Give us a hand. Or an eye. *Weird mixed metaphor cocktail digging its heels into Frankenstein imagery, that's how our Ranch brain works, you've seen our walls. 🎨🌈🌀 >>>Drop your favorite Black-owned Businesses in the comments. We'll start with ours: Three on our list are in our latest #CreativeJuiceBlog post. The first is the aforementioned Black Ensemble Theater. ❤️ Peep the other two at the link in the first comment! 👇🏽🔗
