Hello will be traveling to Nashville this upcoming Saturday and would love to eat some BBQ at a black owned spot. any suggestions?
I am so glad there is a focus on black businesses in Nashville, because other forms of media in the Ville does not showcase anything unless it’s country music….
Thank you so much for the kind words, Nett!
