Janae was AMAZING!! The last time I visited LA I did Hollywood tour which was cool seeing but this tour was not only fun and I learned SO MUCH! Janae truly is dedicated to sharing the beautiful African American history/gems of South Central/LA. We went through some amazing neighborhoods and learned how they were formed and destroyed. We saw Moesha’s house, Insecure spots & more! BOOK IT!!
