On today’s episode of Within Reason with Mike Matson, Sheila Ellis-Glasper joins to talk about efforts to create a Yuma Street Cultural Center. Ellis-Glasper is the co-founder and executive director of the Black Entrepreneurs of the Flint Hills, a group designed to equip entrepreneurs with the resources and skills necessary to reach their goals.
Yuma Street has been a cultural hub for the Black community in Manhattan since the late 1870s. The Yuma Street Cultural Center, which is to find its home in Shepard Chapel, will be place of belonging and empowerment for Black entrepreneurs. YSCC will provide Manhattan residents with business training programs, access to technology, youth development programs, a culinary incubator, and many other resources that both honor the history of the area and ensure the success of its future.
More information on the Black Entrepreneurs of the Flint Hills, the Yuma Street Cultural Center, and how you can get involved is available at blackflinthills.com/yuma.
