For thousands of women in Chicago and coming from out of town, the annual Black Women’s Expo (BWe) is your go-to event to keep top of mind. “I had a manicure/pedicure and listened to a mom and son co-owner in the adjoined booth reveal the steps it took to start a printing business from the ground up.” Linda was driving home from work and heard about #Bwe on the radio, a visit to a nail shop was in her weekend plan and little did she know the black women’s expo was the place to get that. After buying a new outfit and visiting the main stage for a standing-room-only concert featuring El Debarge, Linda was ready to sit down for a blood pressure test with a nurse in the Illinois Department of Health and Wellness trailer.

One of our journalists Zion, @ChicagoRadio wasted no time finding out if Linda would return next year. She said, “Yes with family and friends in the future, I had a good time and will leave here better than I walked in.”
