imaginations, and intelligence. The feeling is beautiful and spiritually uplifting to witness raw
brilliance created out of hope, pride, and resilience..
From one booth to the next the overwhelming power of pure raw talent is literally breathtaking. An
incredible show of talent and creativity, rich with heritage and culture, the Baldwin Hills Mall is
endowed with the ethereal essence of a journey from mother Africa to the New World and it's
undying spirit of strength that is timeless.

of materials not bought in bulk. Instead items selected piece by piece from imagination and
inspiration. Hope to see you next year!
