Michelle Perez, age 17 South LA “Mujer vs. Gentrification” (Near Main St. in South Central) Maria works at a mini mall in South Central as a hairstylist. Recently there has been new apartment complexes being built. She was hopeful that new apartments in the area would bring new customers but that hasn’t been the case. Maria is now fearful of being displaced from her shop since the rent keeps increasing and there’s not many customers coming in. She told me it’s just a matter of time now before the shop is closed. She says that although this worries her, she will continue running her salon for as long as possible. -- source link
