Kells Barnett, took a moment during the festivities to reflect on Harlem Haberdsahery’s 4 year. There were many trials and tribulations during the four years but the prior experience help things going in the right direction. One notable challenge of HH is getting the Leonx Ave foot traffic to come in on a regular day. Sometime the average passerby who is not familiar with HH may be hesitant to enter the retail boutique as it is connected to a brownstone. Kells also talked about how HH’s does work to have a positive impact to the community through what was initially just a hashtag #TakingCareOfHarlem. They participate in initiatives that feed the needy, art programs with Harlem Hospital, various speaking engagements with kids around grooming, manners and professionalism. Currently a program is being created around entrepreneurship.
