RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT) - The fifth annual Richmond Black Restaurant Experience kicked off with Mobile Soul Sunday, featuring dozens of Black-owned food trucks.
The experience is one way many small business owners, including Sharon Williams, are gaining support from the community during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“It’s been pretty good because some food trucks aren’t even working at all,” Williams said. “I’m happy to be working.”
Williams started her food truck business, Lady Sharon’s Soul Food Kitchen, two and a half years ago. When the COVID-19 pandemic started last March, she says her business faced some challenges.
