Mayor Muriel Bowser Power Play For Black-Owned Businesses In Anacostia

On March 6, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser commemorated the launch of three new Black-owned enterprises in the storied Anacostia neighborhood: Sweet Tooth Café, Sapodilla’s, and Grounded. These innovative businesses, supported by the District’s Food Access Fund and Neighborhood Prosperity Fund, not only enhance local economic vitality but also reflect the enduring spirit of former Mayor Marion Barry's legacy. Each establishment plays a vital role in fostering community engagement and sustainable growth, reshaping the area's architectural and cultural landscape. As these ventures thrive, they underscore a significant chapter in Anacostia's ongoing narrative of resilience and empowerment, reinforcing the essential contribution of diverse entrepreneurs to the metropolitan fabric of Washington, D.C.
