Sharon Joseph Community Quotations

There are people who have been in Harlem for years who have paved the way for us. A lot of people are moving into the community and the demographics are changing, but a lot of young African American professionals are doing just what Gail and I have done -- they're not only moving back to the community and becoming homeowners, they're saying we want to be business owners as well. That's an important demographic change, too.

We're two people who grew up in the community and now we'll own what'll probably be one of the biggest black-owned businesses in Harlem.
