The person who posted the list of Black-owned bakeries speaks out

In this week’s edition of Bed-Stuy Stoop, we wrote about the new bakery Saison being opened by a former Vogue editor on the corner of Hancock and Marcus Garvey — and how someone had pointedly put up a poster just outside listing local Black-owned bakeries.

Well, the poster creator has graciously come forward, and spoken to Bed-Stuy Stoop about why they thought it was so critical to remind local residents — and new businesses — of what already exists in the community.
