Generations of the Wright family proudly sang while caring for their land. With C47, she invokes her relationship with the land to reclaim her power as an African. Providing nourishing meals brings an empowering sense of belonging and change of narrative to the South Side of Chicago.
A cornerstone of historic Bronzeville, entrepreneur and designer Monica Haslip established C47 in honor of legendary botanist and humanitarian Dr. George Washington Carver. Her intention is to create space for people of different backgrounds to come together, break bread, and feel valued while enjoying Wright’s wholesome foods.
