Inglewood's Black-owned businesses to be highlighted during Super Bowl weekend

The Taste of Inglewood returns for Super Bowl weekend.

Seeing a need to promote Black-owned businesses, longtime Inglewood, California, resident Keokia Childress helped start a community-organized food festival to showcase what their neighborhood had to offer.

But what began with only a handful of food trucks in 2017, the Taste of Inglewood will have a super-sized spotlight and more than 100 Black-owned food and retail vendors this year as tens of thousands of NFL fans descend on the neighborhood for Super Bowl weekend.

Childress said she created the event after noticing a movement of Black-owned food trucks popping up throughout the neighborhood.

"I said to myself, 'I wish there was something we could do to help promote these businesses because they do not get the recognition they deserve.'" Childress told ABC News.
