Black In Business

I have discovered another black female owned business in the Chicago area. Nicole Jones has turned her dream into reality and in the process has become an important example of a revitalized Bronzeville
Bronzeville is a historic part of Chicago, once known as the Black Metropolis. It was the place to be for jazz, theater, fun and excitement. It was Chicago’s Harlem during the roaring 20’s.
Ms. Jones is an industrious inspired woman and discovered early in a business career to ask for what you want and to think big.
She started her remarkable ascend in the banking world and was passed over for a job she wanted because , even though she was a star, no one knew she wanted to move up. It never happened again.
She became a VP in banking, and was responsible for corporate clients. She also started a rehabbing real-estate business, targeting properties in distressed communities. When the real-estate market crashed after 9-11, she took advice from her dad and decided to diversity. Her dad was third grade educated but has incredible business acumen. I love that because my dad was 3 grade educated as well but one of the smartest men I have known.
Ms. Jones believes in lending a helping hand and has helped tenants get jobs, and better themselves through education.
She now owns Sensual Steps Shoe Salon. Please click on her link to discover more about this inspiring business owner.
