South Shore’s beloved Mama Africa’s faces closure

Mama Africa’s Marketplace, a vibrant anchor for Black-owned businesses and community gatherings in South Shore, is at risk of shutting its doors as a veterans’ nonprofit plans to buy and renovate the building. This spot isn’t just a shop—it’s been a home for local vendors, youth jobs, healing circles, and so many grassroots groups. The founder, Mama Africa, is fighting to keep the space alive, even launching a fundraiser and seeking partners. The clock’s ticking, and the community’s rallying—what do you think should happen next for this neighborhood gem? #Safety #SouthShore #MamaAfricasMarketplace
