Both the affordable housing crisis and gradual neighborhood gentrification aren’t exactly new topics; however, the impact each has on small business owners and longtime community members is rarely discussed.

On this episode of Beyond Black History Month, we speak to "Grandma" Dawn Martine-Harris, a small business owner based in Harlem. Listen as we learn about her experience throughout the years and how rising rents have threatened her mission to serve her community.
