The shop, in a former dentist’s office in Avalon Park, one of the South Side’s many historic, predominantly African American neighborhoods, serves Ms. Broussard’s inventive pies and pastries, such as her calling cards — a blue cheese praline pear pie and a [strawberry basil Key lime pie](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmlQF3P0TiaHR0cHM6Ly9jb29raW5nLm55dGltZXMuY29tL3JlY2lwZXMvMTAyNDMyMS1zdHJhd2JlcnJ5LWJhc2lsLWtleS1saW1lLXBpZT9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD0zNyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ycl8yMDIzMDcxNSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD05NzU2OCZubD1yYWNlJTJGcmVsYXRlZCZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTM5Mzg1JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpkpXd8smTNvaDuUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~) — along with unorthodox items like her salted caramel peach pie and a deep-dish chilaquiles quiche. Ms. Broussard, who lost 75 percent of her hearing in a childhood accident, may be the industry’s most prominent hard-of-hearing Black pastry chef. She has gained a following for her pies through social media, pop-ups and appearances on the [Netflix competition show “Bake Squad.”](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmlQF3P0S_aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubmV0ZmxpeC5jb20vdGl0bGUvODEyMTg0Mzg_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9MzcmZW1jPWVkaXRfcnJfMjAyMzA3MTUmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9OTc1Njgmbmw9cmFjZSUyRnJlbGF0ZWQmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTEzOTM4NSZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZKV3fLJkzb2g7lIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD) “I realized that being a member of the deaf and hard-of-hearing community actually gave me a superpower,” she said, “and that superpower includes a heightened sense of smell and taste.” Ms. Broussard chose her bakery’s location in hopes of encouraging other chefs and entrepreneurs to join her. “I want to force people who don’t look like me to come to the South Side if they want my pies,” she said. “I want to force people to come to a neighborhood that deserves private investment, a neighborhood that has a blighted corridor, a neighborhood that has empty storefronts.” Maya-Camille Broussard watches as her shop Justice of the Pies fills with customers during its soft open on July 1.Taylor Glascock for The New York Times [Zella Palmer](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmlQF3P0TnaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8wMi8xNC9kaW5pbmcvYmxhY2stY2hlZnMtbmV3LW9ybGVhbnMtaGlzdG9yeS5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTM3JmVtYz1lZGl0X3JyXzIwMjMwNzE1Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTk3NTY4Jm5sPXJhY2UlMkZyZWxhdGVkJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xMzkzODUmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmSld3yyZM29oO5SG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAw~~), an author and [professor at Dillard University in New Orleans](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmlQF3P0TvaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZGlsbGFyZC5lZHUvZGlsbGFyZC1uZXdzcm9vbS9tYWdhemluZS9yYXktY2hhcmxlcy1wcm9ncmFtLWxvY2FsLXRhbGVudC5waHA_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9MzcmZW1jPWVkaXRfcnJfMjAyMzA3MTUmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9OTc1Njgmbmw9cmFjZSUyRnJlbGF0ZWQmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTEzOTM4NSZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZKV3fLJkzb2g7lIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD) who grew up on the South Side of Chicago, said neighborhoods like Avalon Park deserve more inventive Black-owned businesses. “There’s a huge pride in the community to see this gleaming pie shop,” she said. “This is a pie shop that looks like it could be in Brooklyn, or on Magazine Street in New Orleans, but it’s here.” [Continue reading the main story](#a11y-skip-universal-0) ADVERTISEMENT [Ad](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmlQF3P0SZaHR0cHM6Ly9saXZlaW50ZW50Lm5ld3lvcmt0aW1lc2luZm8uY29tL2NsaWNrP3M9MTc0MTQ5JmxpPVJSJm09YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDcmcD1SUl8yMDIzMDcxNSZ0ZT0xJm5sPXJhY2UlMkZyZWxhdGVkJmVtYz1lZGl0X3JyXzIwMjMwNzE1VwNueXRCCmSld3yyZM29oO5SG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAw~~) Several of the shop’s counters are 32 inches high, [meeting the height standards](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmlQF3P4QoAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmFjY2Vzcy1ib2FyZC5nb3YvYWRhL2FkYS1pYmMtY29tcGFyaXNvbi9jaGFwdGVyLTkvP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTM3JmVtYz1lZGl0X3JyXzIwMjMwNzE1Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTk3NTY4Jm5sPXJhY2UlMkZyZWxhdGVkJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xMzkzODUmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3Izp-OnRleHQ9VGhlJTIwdG9wcyUyMG9mJTIwYWNjZXNzaWJsZSUyMHRhYmxlcyxpbiUyMGhlaWdodCUyMGFib3ZlJTIwdGhlJTIwZmxvb3IuVwNueXRCCmSld3yyZM29oO5SG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAw~~) of the American Disabilities Act and making them accessible for wheelchair users. Each section of the shop has a different floor tile texture, which helps patrons with limited sight who use a walking cane navigate the store. “How can I be an ambassador for people living with disabilities and have a space that isn’t accessible?” she said. Signs in the shop carry Braille inscriptions, and language is designed to be inclusive, too. (In the bathroom, there are “personal hygiene products” rather than “feminine hygiene products.”) A service door that has a bell and a flashlight allows Ms. Broussard to remain aware of important deliveries. Ms. Broussard started Justice of the Pies in 2014, naming it for her father, Stephen Broussard, a criminal-justice lawyer and longtime activist. She had a complicated relationship with him and has sought healing through the bakery. Mr. Broussard displayed a predilection for pies, convincing a young Ms. Broussard — an initial skeptic — to give them a chance. For several years, she operated in different businesses and spaces, while also creating programs to address food insecurity, including teaching young people on the South Side what she describes as “self-sufficiency” skills, such as how to budget, make a grocery list and follow a recipe.
