Black-Owned Restaurant #14: NABE

When I first started my November’s Journey 14 days ago, I questioned could I actually fall in love with my people and myself, in 30 days? It was not until this evening while staring at the ceiling in my room that I realized it is possible and it is happening right this moment. The fear and hatred that was once in my heart have been replaced with empathy and love. All the black-owned restaurants that I have been to thus far have been nothing but beautiful experiences with a few tough lessons in-between. I look in the mirror and see a more beautiful Demetrius. A Demetrius that was once insecure about his physical image has been replaced with a man that is falling in love with every feature God gave him.

While at NEBE’s, I thought to myself "here I am in my hometown Harlem eating a Japanese dish while listening to rap music and conversing with a lovely black woman."

 Life is good!




Thank you, NABE, for being a part of my journey.
