"Dreamer Boyz consists of hustle, drive, ambition, and consciousness," says CEO of Dreamer Boyz Joseph Broussard. "We ran across this, which was the old check cashing place that kind of preyed upon the African American community with those really aggressive loans. So, we thought of what a perfect fit to turn this into a shared retail space that will actually help the African American community thrive with their businesses," says Pia Harris, Program Director of Economic Development Team San Francisco Housing and Development Corporation.
