Black Women Essential

Clip: 4/16/2022 | 3m 16sVideo has Closed Captions

Meet a pair of local entrepreneurs on a mission to advocate for Black women.

It originally started as a passion project in an effort to pay homage to Breonna Taylor. A pair of friends and businesswomen created 50 kits raising funds to support Black women essential workers in Chicago. Now two years later, it has since become a movement that’s expanded beyond the t-shirt it started with.
