MILWAUKEE — Two local entrepreneurs, Felicia, founder of the Foodie Spot, and Brittany Muhammad, founder of Unity Market MKE, are partnering to help other small businesses.
The once-a-month city market calls the corner lot on 22nd and Atkinson home.
This is where local artists, chefs, jewelry designers, creatives, and others converge to sell their goods and services.
"It's not just about making money, it's about bringing people together," says Muhammad.
One weekend a month for nearly a year, business owners have had the opportunity to network with each other and provide the community with goods and services that organizers say keep the circulation of the dollar within the area.
"One of the things that I learned is there need to be more opportunities out there to learn how to do things the right way and how to grow a business. I went through that journey and realized that I need to give that same platform to people," said Felicia.

Other community-building attractions include spoken word, workshops, athletics, and activities for children.
Both Felicia and Brittany have enjoyed success with their entrepreneurial endeavors. They, too, are still growing their businesses but have vowed to help others along the way.
