poet Gwendolyn Brooks
and Quincy Jones.
Bronzeville is also home
to the Illinois Institute of

6. I love to ski! This photo was
taken in Park City, Utah as I
was lifted up the mountain.
Magnificent views caused me
to almost crash skiing down.
Teaching a class as a
platform artist for the
Cosmetologists Chicago
Association was so much fun.
I’m a trained makeup artist
and for many years it was my
primary income.
Now, it’s a hobby that I love.

Neighborhood
Collaborative’s
