ABOUT ROME ROGERS
Rome’s Kitchen opened in 2019 as a way to not only forge Rome’s own path as a chef, but also help a community embrace its history. He uses his Italian-soul fusion cuisine as a means to bring back traditional and unique cultural foods that have slowly been forgotten by a community in the midst of gentrification. With his work, Rome seeks to be a model for the community and a benchmark for Italian cuisine in the Bay Area.

ABOUT CITIZEN FILM AND BLACK ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Many black entrepreneurs in the Bay are committed to creating spaces that keep dollars in their neighborhoods and lift up their communities. Sharing powerful, authentic stories of these entrepreneurs’ work—their dreaming, striving, overcoming challenges and celebrating achievements—is essential to supporting their successes and to manifesting a collective, community-centered vision.
With the support of our partners at San Francisco’s Office of Economic and Workforce Development and The Dream Keeper Initiative, Citizen Film collaborates with Black business owners to tell their stories in creative ways that make a community-building impact.
