Chicago women revitalizing Lawndale, one storefront at a time

One of North Lawndale’s newest storefronts is occupied by a beauty supply store. Boyce Enterprises Beauty Supply is the only Black-owned beauty supply store in the area. It’s part of the reinvesting in the community, specifically on 16th Street. West Side native Vetress Boyce bucked the trend when she opened Boyce Enterprises Beauty Supply on 16th Street. She hopes it’s the start of a boom in business and reinvestment for the area.
