Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible moms, grandmothers, mother figures, and caregivers who help shape and strengthen our communities across Chicago every single day. 🌸 In honor of Mother’s Day, we spoke with Verlean and Courtney about their mother-daughter business, Da Book Joint, in Chicagos' South Shore neighborhood. More than a bookstore, it’s a community space built on love, connection, and care, values that feel especially meaningful today. And to all the mothers out there, Verlean said it best: “We appreciate you, we love you and we need you.” 📍 Da Book Joint, 6900 S Stony Island Ave #NeverOutdoneChi #AllForTheLoveofChicago
