The South Side - My South Side: A Love Letter to Home

Join Letra Bledsoe as she talks about growing up on the south side of Chicago, her memories, her experiences, the locales she haunted, and the changes she's seen since she left home. 

The South Side – My South Side is a dynamic, visual journey into the heart of Chicago's South Side—a region bursting with history, culture, flavor, and pride. From the iconic Museum Campus to legendary sports teams and local landmarks like Jackson Park and Bridgeport, this presentation uncovers the stories behind the places that make the South Side unforgettable. Through engaging visuals and real-world stories, audiences will experience the evolution of the South Side, with a few surprising "A-ha" moments along the way.

More than a history lesson, this is a celebration of community. Through powerful imagery and shared memories—from lakefront views to favorite local eateries and defining sporting moments—the South Side comes to life. Audience members are invited to join the conversation, sharing their own stories, reflections, and hidden gems. Whether you’ve lived here forever or are just beginning to explore, My South Side offers deeper appreciation of a place that continues to shape Chicago’s past, present, and future.

Letra is a dynamic and creative educator, licensed in Career and Technical Education, with a rich and varied professional background. From corporate America to the classroom, and from the beauty industry to the food and beverage world, she brings lived experience, humor, and insight to every presentation. A former preschool business manager, executive assistant, paralegal, and certified massage therapist, she has also worked in modeling, cosmetics sales, bartending, and fast food—all while maintaining her lifelong passion for learning and creativity. She continues to expand her skills through coursework in accounting, project management, and emerging technologies like AI. Whether speaking in front of an audience or working behind the scenes, she is always learning, creating, and moving forward. “I welcome opportunities to connect, collaborate, and grow alongside others who value creativity, curiosity, and lifelong learning."
