Tasha Hull
Tasha Hull, is a native of Trinidad and Tobago, but migrated to Boston in 1991 when her parents decided to move to the United States. Tasha grew up in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston and later lived in the Back Bay for over 10 years. Today, Tasha resides in Hyde Park and has been a resident there since July 2018. Tasha graduated from the John D. O’Bryant School of Mathematics and Science and the University of Massachusetts Boston. She holds a B.S. in Management and Marketing and a Master of Education. Tasha has been a trusted real estate agent since 2004 and is the founder and owner of a property management company - Hull Property Management - since 2011. Additionally, Tasha has been employed by the Boston Public Schools as a special education teacher since 2006. Teaching is truly her passion and this is evident when you look at the work that she has done supporting our youths across the city. Moreover, Tasha is known and beloved throughout the city for her incredible food which she is now able to share with her community through her restaurant, Park 54 Restaurant & Lounge. The name "Park 54" is inspired by the life and service of the men who served in the 54th Regiment - a volunteer infantry comprised of free Black American male soldiers. The regiment was established in Readville, MA, now known as "Hyde Park." Despite the backlash, the men received for fighting in a "white man's war" each bravely risked their lives for the freedom and betterment of their families, community, and country. Park 54’s mission, through Tasha Hull and co-owner, Andre Walker, is to continue the legacy of the historical 54th Regiment. They have created a safe haven where their beloved community of Hyde Park and the neighboring towns, can experience the freedom, happiness, and fullness of self-expression the 54th Regiment fought for. Having only been open for less than a year, they have already accomplished this by offering great food, innovative libations, incredible music, compelling historical artifacts, and an inviting ambiance!
