In the Chicago area, many have welcomed new migrants with open arms, but there has also been intense pushback in different neighborhoods every time the city announces a new temporary shelter to house the migrants. This has resulted in racial tensions that have become a part of the story. . Is this a repeat of history? Chicago Urban Historian Shermann Dilla Thomas broke down how previous generations of migrants have been treated similarly. Full documentary at our #linkinbio.
Shout out @uchicagomed for entrusting me with their 1st year medical students. To work in a space it’s important to understand the history of that space.
A Chicago house anthem!!!!
Happy Black Month. Shout out Jason Weaver and the whole Chicago family. Everything dope about America comes from Chicago
Instead of worrying about what others have done for the community, ask yourself what have YOU done for the community!!!

Hey there! It’s a beautiful day out 🤩 Last week we spent a few hours on another beautiful day with the historian @6figga_dilla on his Chicago Mahogany tour through Englewood. We learned SO MUCH! A city gem 💎, he had much knowledge to share with us on this two hour bus tour. We learned about the history of the neighborhood, talked about some influential and historical residents. Things got heavy as we talked about the very really racial discrimination that has affected the residents of this community. Click through the photos to learn more. There were also beautiful stops on the tour such as The iconic Yale and we even got to go inside and see the breathtaking atrium. We ended the tour with a visit to @ggcfreshmarket where staff got some groceries and a few even got tasty smoothies. We love to support a local business! There were so many stops and this is only a small summary of the time we shared together. We recommend the tour to learn more about our beautiful city. Swipe through, recognize any of these spots? Oh and swipe all the way to end for a message. 🫶🏽 📷: @allyalmorephoto
