Lotta good African spots and markets between Roxbury and Brockton. Not that uncommon in those areas. I’ve eaten much sub Saharan African- never had Moroccan.

Actually Suya Joint (West African) is right in Dudley Street. Now Casa Cafe (Cape Verdean) is too.

Obossa is my favorite Nigerian spot in Roslindale

White people have scared you into not wanting new entertainment and cultural venues developed by native Roxburyians…wow, sad.

Stop being scared of your own shadow and understand you deserve better

Boston has hella black people though, in the city. Seattle and Portland do not. That has historically driven divestment and scared off investment. Until he pandemic Boston had a much higher violent crime rate and concentrations of generational poverty.

It also has a liquor license cap.

That’s why it’s been hard to turn these neighborhoods around. They were extreeeeemly blighted at their lowest and it’s taken a long time to revitalize these neighborhoods just to this point.

Take a look at this video of Roxbury around 1980- it was super rough. https://youtu.be/tjtYIWdK2aE

Market rate Rents not cheaper in the black neighborhoods. There no available housing for anyone that isn’t already plugged into the social ecosystem of those neighborhoods

Nubian Markets is about to open in the old Bartlett yards with Afro centric food and cafe and ready to go meals.

Should be open any day now.

Black Market Social needs to be granted a liquor license too.

Jazz urbane needs to open up by July

Black Market Nubian is looking for a liquor license so they can become a bar and be Black Market Social.

Them and Nubian Gallery often hold events with one day liquor licenses, and want to make it permanent.

Here one event coming up right in Nubian Square called “WYD?”
