Lists of Black-Owned Restaurants Are a Start, but They’re Obviously Not Enough | Eater

"Owned and operated by Evelyn Shelton, this small restaurant illustrates how many Black women restaurateurs have had to build their businesses from scratch—relying on personal savings, family loans, credit cards, or by refinancing homes—which leaves them starting from uniquely disadvantaged positions. Shelton explains that those limited resources make surviving the pandemic and economic downturn especially difficult, leaving the business particularly vulnerable to closures and to discriminatory lending practices that have made it far harder for Black- and brown-owned restaurants to obtain relief funds like PPP loans." - Jaya Saxena
