McHenry County African American business owners will be honored at the Black History Month celebration at Donna Lowe Salon, 772 S. Randall Road in Algonquin, on Sunday, Feb. 25, from noon to 2 p.m. Entrepreneurs will share their stories and be saluted.

Honorees include Donna Lowe (Donna Lowe Salon), Chef Joanne Thomas (With a Little Love in Every Bite), Tangie Taylor (Tangie’s Kitchen), Gloria Dillard (GMSity Embroidery), and Rodney Katushabe (FinArk).

The event was organized by Emily Ferguson who was an independent contractor for 25 years. She is currently enrolled at McHenry County College pursuing a Certification in Entrepreneurship. She hopes that the event will spark the creation of the McHenry County African American Business Association which she is organizing.
