A Day on Malcolm X Boulevard
Mable curated a day of exploration and exchange along Malcolm X Boulevard with Ambassador Shabazz, the eldest daughter of Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz. Shaped around conversations with local business owners and the evolving story of this historic Harlem corridor, the experience offered a meaningful look at legacy, entrepreneurship, community, and the hopes and challenges shaping the boulevard today — during the year marking Malcolm X's 100th birthday.

Bringing Homeownership Into the Community
