The history of the South Side of Chicago is one of Black excellence and strength, making life more affordable and accessible. That's the legacy I'll bring with me to the U.S. Senate as I fight for economic justice and opportunity. @6figga-dilla.bsky.social

In Chicago… You’re either from Chicago or from the Chicagoland area… There’s a complexity to it 😂. But there’s certainly a relationship between the city and the burbs. Learn more about it on my new show, ‘You Don’t Know Chi’. Premiering 11/29 on YouTube.
