Harlem is more than a place; it’s a vibe, a movement, a whole culture. From the streets of 125th to the brownstones lining Lenox Avenue, this neighborhood has birthed icons. Enter Michelle Smalls—better known as the “Queen of Harlem”—who represents what it means to grind, rise above, and give back. Growing up in Harlem wasn’t easy, but Smalls used every obstacle as a stepping stone to greatness. Now, she’s a successful entrepreneur, real estate mogul, philanthropist, and the author behind “The Queen of Harlem Commandments”.
