BROCKTON Growing up on the east side of Brockton, navigating through life and playing soccer at Brockton High School, Timothy Silva had no idea he would one day go to college and become a chef who cooks for celebrities in New York City.
Silva, 29, started his entrepreneurship journey at a young age working at Boxer Boulevard, the Brockton High School store run by DECA, an international student business club.
Coming from a family of fifth-generation entrepreneurs, Silva said leadership came naturally to him. Every generation in my family has their industry. For example, my father started up many restaurants and my grandfather started up his businesses. We try not to focus on what the generation before us did but find our passion and pursue that. My family encourages us to create a business out of something we love, Silva said.

The newly launched Black Shutter Podcast is already gaining attention in the creative community for its focus on people historically left out of the picture: Black photographers, filmmakers, editors and other like-minded creatives. The term Black shutter is how Black photographers see the world, says co-creator Idris Talib Solomon. So any Black person with a camera has a Black shutter, because you document the world the way that you see it based on your lived experiences.
The show, which started in March 2020, has put out more than two dozen conversations with Black photographers doing photojournalism, portraits, fashion, documentaries and other visual work.
