In this episode of 'The UpNUp Podcast' we sit down with Terrell Jackson, Owner and inspiring force behind Seattle’s beloved 'Jacksons Catfish Corner'. Growing up working in his grandparents’ iconic restaurant in the Central District, Terrell witnessed firsthand the impact of displacement on Black-owned businesses. After the original Catfish Corner closed many years back, Terrell embarked on a mission to bring it back and do it for future generations.

From his early entrepreneurial beginnings of running pop-ups, temporary brick & mortar's and consistent efforts, he was eventually able to reopen 'Jackson's Catfish Corner', bringing it back home to the legendary 23rd & Jackson section of the Central District.
