WHO Executive director, Congo Square Theatre Company
HOME ’HOOD Wicker Park. “I love the diversity of the neighborhood and how it always feels full of life (no matter the season).”
GO-TO SPOT Retreat at Currency Exchange (305 E. Garfield Blvd., @retreatcurrencyexchange) in Hyde Park. “I try to get there as much as possible. It’s an incredible work environment, always great food, great coffee, and even more important is the incredible mission and intent of the Rebuild Foundation in being a pillar or restoration for our community.”
LOOKING FORWARD TO MOST “I’m excited for the newness that the fall generally brings, but also specifically in this near-post-COVID times. Also, I’m very excited for Congo Square’s return to producing more live work and being able to more deeply engage with our community.”
CURRENT OBSESSION “I love Iridium (108 N. State St., 312.775.2456), a Chicago-based fashion brand located in Block 37. The shop is always a vibe and has incredible fashion. I’m also always vibing to the work and sounds of Sulyiman Stokes (@sulyiman_), an interdisciplinary artist doing incredible work through photography, music and more, to tell Black stories.”
