#WeMadeInterview - What started as a vision 🙌🏾to honor women has grown into a powerful celebration 🎉 of community, culture, and recognition✨.

In our latest interview, @msjswank 💐💚, co-founder of @wemadechi ,reflects on the journey of building an event dedicated to celebrating women entrepreneurs👏🏾✨ and giving flowers while people can still receive them. Inspired by the loss of a close friend whose impact went unrecognized during her lifetime🫂, We Made was created to ensure women feel seen, appreciated, and celebrated😌❤️.

Why Chicago?

Because Black history runs through the heart of Chicago. From movement to music, protest to progress — our stories live here.

1865 Fest is more than an event. It’s a reminder that our history, culture, and pride can never be erased. #1865fest #chicago #ourcultureourpride

Why Chicago?

From the Great Migration to today, Chicago has always been a freedom city — built on Black resilience, culture, and legacy.

At a time when so much is being taken from us, knowing our history matters more than ever. This is our history. This is why 1865 Fest belongs here. #golddom #1865fest #garfieldpark #juneteenth2026❤️🖤💚💛
