Families in Louisville’s Russell and Portland neighborhoods no longer have to travel far for essential medications. Childhood friends Deshawn King and Isaiah Jones have opened Good Brothers Pharmacy on West Main Street, just blocks from Norton West Louisville Hospital. Officially launched on August 27, it is recognized as Louisville’s first Black-owned pharmacy.

At the grand opening, King shared, “Today, we open our doors not just as a pharmacy but as a family. Today we follow the footsteps of Dr. Zhil Palmer, who opened the first Black-owned pharmacy in Lexington, KY.”

💬 “What I love most is competing with my teammates — basketball is fun and I love winning.”

When she’s not hooping, Celeste is shopping, eating, and catching up on sleep like most teens. But don’t let that fool you — her vision is clear:

🏢 Launch a commercial real estate business
