JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – August is National Black Owned Business Month and we continue to share stories of business owners. News4Jax spoke with the owner of a speech therapy business based in Jacksonville. “Speech therapy primarily focuses on articulation so how we say words and pronounce words and then we talk about language therapy from a development perspective,” Henry said. She started her business, Broad Horizons Speech Therapy, last year. “So it’s very important for me as a speech language pathologist and specifically African-American to continue to promote my services,” she said.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – August is National Black Owned Business Month -- and with so many of them in Jacksonville, we’ve decided to share their stories. The 76 gas station on Lem Turner and Dunn Avenue is under new ownership. Takesha Ellison and her husband John took it over in February and have been open since July. “It’s been excellent,” Takesha Ellison, Co-Owner of 76 Gas Station, said. There’s actually another black-owned gas station to 7-Eleven right down the street from us as well.
