Black chefs in Cleveland and NEO exist. The problem is most food writers and consumers equate the profession with restaurants. There are black chefs who are private and personal chefs and there are trained black chefs working in nursing homes/assisted living facilities, for catering companies, and more. If you meet one black chef, they can introduce you to more. If you to CCC's culinary program, they can tell you where they are. My niece, Nigel Dixon, is a chef, and has been one for years. Check universities too. Stop thinking that all chefs are in sexy jobs and start thinking about the profession overall. After all, many journalists do not work for dailies or weeklies.
