A west Louisville church is highlighting Black-owned businesses through a Black Wall Street event. This initiative encourages community investment.

Vendors gathered at Greater Galilee Baptist Church to connect with shoppers and showcase their products. Organizers stressed the importance of supporting local businesses to strengthen the community's economy.

Eric A. Johnson from the Galilee Community Development Corporation emphasized the need for economic collaboration. Supportive resources like this marketplace can provide valuable exposure for vendors. Two more Black Wall Street events are planned for this year, including one on Juneteenth.

Louisville senior guard Spencer Legg is turning his personal challenges into outreach through his organization, Spencer's Stand. Diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes as a youth, Legg works to raise awareness and support for kids and families affected by diabetes.

Following a recent upset victory over No. 22 Miami, Legg spoke at West End School, where he encouraged young athletes. He shared his experience of overcoming adversity, stating, "Just because you feel a certain way one day doesn't mean that's how you're going to feel forever". Legg's influence is evident, as students like high school athlete Jack Powers look up to him as a role model.

Legg emphasizes the importance of community support, reiterating that students are not alone in their struggles. His mission focuses on awareness and inspiring confidence among those facing similar challenges.
