Following the 2024 presidential election, Nicole Nicholas's cafe, Aunts et Uncles in Brooklyn, emerged as an essential community hub for healing and emotional processing. The cafe is not just a dining establishment; it represents a gathering place for the Black community, illustrating the importance of Black-owned restaurants as cultural anchors that foster a sense of belonging and resilience. The Nicholases created an environment that honors Caribbean heritage and Black creativity, emphasizing that these spaces are vital for identity, joy, and resistance against systemic racism.
In a country where systemic racism has long shaped the lives of Black people, Black-owned restaurants have consistently been more than just places to dine.
At Aunts et Uncles, the Nicholases focus on vegan cuisine and nurturing an atmosphere that honors Caribbean heritage and Black creativity.
