Maya Griffin Preserves Black Literature with the BAAP Boutique
April 17, 2025
Los Angeles native Maya Griffin has always lived her life in pursuit of her passion for art and literature. From a young age, she drew picture books, wrote fiction, and created magazines. She recognized the value of culture and community by visiting the African Marketplace as a child with her mother and participating in Kwanzaa celebrations at Lulu Washington. Those experiences laid the foundation for her journey into the arts. Griffin is now the proud co-owner of the Black Art and Philosophy (BAAP) Boutique in the Crenshaw District.
