Ends 11/18/20 ll OCTOBER - CHICAOREADER 3 CITY LIFE ISAGIALLORENZO Street View Out of the box Defying boundaries, two entrepreneurs mix business, community, and prints. BIG hen spotted at Garfield Park Con- servatory, Maria LyVonne, 35, and WAshley Bassett-Parkins, 33, looked like they belonged in a fashion editorial—and they did! They were being photographed for the “lifestyle brand” they introduced last April, named LYV-ON (pronounced “live on” or “love on”). “We are on a mission to change the role the fashion industry plays in climate change, make sustainable fashion inclusive, and bring a more relatable and transparent approach to the industry,” says LyVonne. Be- fore they launch their fi rst capsule collection next spring, LyVonne and Bassett-Parkins are focused on building a community “where real women with real experiences can come togeth- er, get inspiration, feel empowered to have a voice, and love and care for themselves.” While busy producing their very own garb, the business partners and longtime friends were sporting garments that represented their “mix-and-match” aesthetic: “I love emo- tional pieces, which is why I gravitate towards the mixture of prints and fabrics. I love pieces that tell a story and are inspirational,” says LyVonne, who described the look she rented from Rent the Runway as “eclectic fall garden party.” Bassett-Parkins, dressed in a “whim- sical garden” theme, likes to mix leopard and fl oral prints year-round and favors a blend of femininity and masculinity with an edge. “Not one style defi nes me,” she says. “I don’t like to be put into a box, since I feel that everyone’s style is constantly evolving and I like to push my limits.” v For more about LYV-ON, check out lyv-on.com and @lyvonlife on Instagram. 4 CHICAOREADER - OCTOBER ll YOUR MENTAL HEALTH DEPENDS ON IT V Voting helps to: o Overcome t Traumatic e Effects Generational Trauma and prolonged traumatic stress rips the social fabric in our communities.

FOOD REVIEW Dinkey DaDiva JEFFMARINIFORCHICAGOREADER Meet Dinkey DaDiva, creator of the Jerk Chicken Egg Roll The Egg Roll Lady has 75 varieties in her arsenal. By MS inkey DaDiva, the Egg Roll Lady, and her sister Pinkey grew up on the west side Deating their Auntie Cathy’s egg rolls stuffed with ground beef and cabbage. So when they opened L&B Soul Kitchen in Bell- wood in 2012, it made sense to put them on the menu. “I called them ‘soul rolls,’” says Dinkey, who, along with Pinkey, was given her nickname as a child, and whose real names are Ernesta and The OG jerk chicken egg rolls JEFFMARINIFORCHICAGOREADER Lekia Berry. The soul rolls did OK, but it wasn’t until 2015 when she noticed the jerk taco trend sweeping the west side that the light bulb lit up the path to her destiny—as the probable originator of the current jerk egg roll wave and the creator of some 75 egg roll varieties. I learned about Berry after reading taco scholar Titus Ruscitti’s recent egg roll round- up where he wondered why these deep fried jerk rolls seemed to have become the unoffi cial snack of the west side. Turns out Ruscitti had visited ground zero two years earlier, long after Dinkey and Pinkey changed the name of the restaurant to Tastee Rolls in the midst of a marathon, 18-month egg roll brainstorming session. “After I did the jerk chicken egg roll, it went crazy,” she says. “I set a trend on social media. There are so many restaurants
