“My restaurant was displaced from Downtown Cincinnati to make room for the soccer stadium in the West End. I reached out to Joe Mallory, First Vice President of the Cincinnati NAACP for assistance in finding a new location. After speaking with him, I knew that things would be set into motion and that God would see me through. When Joe used his political and negotiation skills to reach a more favorable outcome for me and Just Cooking, I had the resources I needed to re-open my business in a new location in Bond Hill as an owner, rather than leasing space. I am forever grateful to the Mallory family and the Cincinnati NAACP.”
