The Real Dream: Ownership, Not Access | The Wake Up Show Chicago

Welcome to The Wake Up Show Chicago! This show is powered by the Illinois State Black Chamber of Commerce and sponsored by Wind Creek Casino Southland. On this episode of The Wake Up Show Chicago, we go beyond symbolism and dig into economic power, ownership, and action. Inspired by the legacy of Dr. King, we are asking the hard questions. Are we still chasing access, or are we finally building what we own? Today’s conversation includes: • How Dr. King’s vision included economic empowerment, not just civil rights • Why Black ownership, not proximity to power, is the real dream • How the Illinois State Black Chamber of Commerce and its standing committees including IT, Energy, Marketing, Youth Entrepreneurship, Construction and more are continuing that work today • Reflections from the 40th Interfaith Breakfast honoring Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. • A powerful financial perspective from Dr. Ericka Blakely, CPA Founder and Executive Director of Black Zenith Hub NFP, here to talk about how access changes everything for our entrepreneurs. • A human rights and anti human trafficking lens from Lorenzo T. Hughes This is not a lecture. This is a call to action.
