During her tour, she visited four local businesses to highlight their contributions to the local economy and emphasize the importance of supporting small businesses.
Rep. Sewell expressed admiration for the impact that small businesses have on the community and emphasized their role as the backbone of the economy. She visited Travis Chicago Style, a local food truck known for its Polish sausage and bear burger, Alabama Goods, a retail store in Homewood specializing in Alabama-made products, Bearden Design, a boutique offering women’s clothing from around the world and The Coffee Shoppe in Selma which will be honored with the U.S. Small Business Administration’s 2024 Phoenix Award for Outstanding Disaster Recovery Efforts.

Sewell’s official social media pages.
