Happy Saturday Chicago Southsiders,

We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Please enjoy this time with your loved ones. One of the greatest gifts that we all have is time. Use this time to focus on what matters most to you, and to unwrap the beautiful gifts that can't be bought in stores.

Since we launched the Chicago Southsider in August, we've been able to highlight many emerging and experienced entrepreneurs on the South Side of Chicago. We also paid tribute to some of the leaders we lost in 2021. Here are some of our community features:

  • Remembering Chris-Tia Donaldson, Founder & CEO of Thank God It's Natural (TGIN)

  • Remembering Timuel Black: Civil Rights Leader, Educator, and Chicago Historian (1918-2021)

  • Former Miss Illinois United States Dominique Jones Wins 3rd Place in South Side Pitch. Here are 5 More Competitions.
