LOCATION: NEW YORK CITY CATEGORY: ARTIST CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE COLLECTIVE CREATIVE SPACE Malcolm-Emilio, better known as his artist marker @stay_relevant an incredible artist. In 2020, I had the pleasure of capturing his work while in California. No cliché, but perhaps this is what an artist could consider full-circle. If it is meant to be it will come back around. Picking up where we left off at the African Space Base mural in California Crenshaw District. Being able to travel to New York City for this Creative's Link Up is THE CONTINUUM, from California to NYC.

"A gift by will," is a legacy, and Leimert Park design by the Olmsted Brother's has been a longstanding pillar of love for culture and beacon of light in the Crenshaw community; with an exceptional amount of contributions from artists, historians, musicians, orators, designers, and so many more. The contributions as a collective have preserved the legacy of Leimert Park. The Leimert Park Community, community activist, and community leaders have been in overdrive to preserve the legacy that many developers don't draw the critical importance this beacon of light serves for the community. More than festivals and drum circles, this community has created something everlasting, self-sufficient, and welcoming for all people from all over the world. This Southern California community was one of the first comprehensively planned communities designed for upper and middle-income families, and a model for urban planning. Many traditions are still happening 40 years later such as Juneteenth presented by Robert Leonard. And since the 1980's Leimert Park has been hosting art walks, a book fair, and regular drum circle. The dinning selections are just spectacular and range from a refreshing smoothie to all sorts of good eats, and such a beautiful essence with ambience of beautiful people. If your budget doesn't allow for a smoothie, there is a community fridge that's always filled with a healthy alternative. The Vision theater is also at the Leimert Plaza. Preserving this legacy is critical, and serves a great purpose continuing to strengthen the cultural, arts, and fellowship space for the community to gather and provide exceptional services and programs for many to take part in.
