When discussing important figures in the African-American community, people that come to mind are often associated with a celebrity or ‘fame’ status and their efforts to give back to their community, names like Lebron James and his “I Promise School,” which provides schooling to more than 1,300 Akron Public School students, or Chance the Rapper who co-founded SocialWorks, a foundation which has raised more than $2 million for Chicago Public Schools. Both have done incredible things for their communities, however, oftentimes overlooked are those lesser-known individuals who have accomplished so much with the resources they have been given.
Introducing: Karim Webb, an LA based restaurateur whose passion for food and giving back to the community has earned him multiple awards including Black Enterprise Magazine’s Franchise Company of the Year.
