Name three small business owners in your community who have had a meaningful impact on others or inspired you personally. Who are they, and why do they stand out as a pillar of your community? These three incredible women represent the absolute best of Chicago's neighborhoods, streets, and communities. From Miley, Camille, Brunson, using just the supplies to provide life-changing culinary training to you, to Stephanie Hart anchoring the Southside for two decades by building jobs and expanding mandatory fracturing through Brown Sugar Bakery at Dominique Leach, breaking barriers, and investing in the historic Pullman community with Lexington Betty Smokehouse. These three women have done a lot for our community, and they will keep doing great for our community, and I hope that it never ends.
