There was a space for authors to come in and do signings. I met some authors, talked with them, and even helped with a little social media. The clothing they had, including items from Africa, was very well presented. When I walked in, the staff greeted me right away. Someone asked if I was there for the book signing. I did not even know about it, but I went over, met the authors, and had a great conversation. Afro City was warm, welcoming, and full of culture and creativity. In a mall that feels empty in some spots, this place felt alive. Afro City Marketplace gets a full 5 stars from me.

Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza was honestly sad to walk through this time. My wife and I went for a…read moredate to see some African American art and spend some time there, especially during Black History Month. When you walk down the center, there are only a few places open on the bottom and a few on the top. At least the places that are still open are closer together, but the emptiness is hard to miss. TJ Maxx feels like the only real anchor on one side. There is also Southern Girl Desserts and a few other shops, but you can really feel what is missing. There are no major anchor tenants anymore. Walmart has been gone for a long time. Sears is gone. It feels barren. It reminded me of a hair salon that only sees people by appointment, with no walk in traffic. There were almost no people just strolling the mall like in years past. Afro City Marketplace and Ninas and some of the other African American businesses were nice and doing their best. The problem is not with them. The mall itself just feels empty and struggling. Because of that, I have to give Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza 3 stars. It is okay, but very difficult to see it like this.

I've returned to the Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Mall. And what has happened is that the mall has been…read moredowngraded. Several businesses at the mall are still closed or have gone out of business. I went back for the Pan-African Film Festival (PAFF) arts and crafts to get a birthday gift for my wife. What used to be filled with vendors and patrons for the African Artist. The festival was a quarter of its heyday. I found a unique gift for my wife, and then I got a gift for myself at the gentleman's Fashion habadaserie, created by James Blumfield. I always wanted a suit from this designer. I finally got a few of his creations. Talking directly to the designer about my plans for the garments helped me get a deal that I couldn't pass up. My pieces are made of superior marerial making my investment of great value. Afro City is still there, providing access to creators and their craft. According to Tyrone Duprie, Creative Director and designer of handheld art, Afro City is a space where a collective of African and/or Descendants of American Slaves sell their crafts. I also met a Master Carpet designer working on a wearable art piece. If you're looking for a getaway in the city of Los Angeles, visit the Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Mall for a unique mall experience.

I've mainly come for their shea butter products, and they've honestly become a staple for me. The scents are amazing without being overpowering, and they last longer than I expected. What really stands out is the texture: deeply hydrating but never greasy, and they absorb nicely without leaving any residue behind. I haven't explored their full range of products yet, but based on the consistency and quality of what I've tried, I'm genuinely impressed. It's the kind of small business where you can feel the care put into what they're making, and that alone has made me a loyal customer.
