August is #BlackBusinessMonth and all month long, we'll be spotlighting #IllinoisMade Makers who have made a difference in their community through their entrepreneurial expression and passion. First up: The Irie Cup! The Irie Cup is a family inspired, owned, and operated company, run by husband-and-wife team Joseph and LaShanda Lewis. "Irie" is a traditional saying that many Jamaicans use in greetings and responses. It means “everything’s good,” or that something is "good and pleasant." When you’re drinking from one of their cups, that’s how they want you to feel: everything is good, everything is pleasant, everything is Irie. 🔗 Learn more: https://bit.ly/3y7GETV #EnjoyIllinois #MiddleofEverything #IllinoisTravel #IllinoisTourism #IllinoisBusiness
