Why it matters: Little Africa was founded by Jacqueline Ngo Mpii, a Black woman who built the company, a guidebook and a retail-and-gallery ‘Little Africa Village’ to celebrate African and diaspora culture in Paris and counter tired stereotypes about the neighbourhood. Her guided walks through the Goutte d’Or take in African fashion, food, music and design from people who live and work there. Pair the tour with the Little Africa Village shop to buy directly from diaspora brands.
