Renowned actress and comedian Tiffany Haddish is making strides toward realizing a lifelong dream: opening a grocery store in her South Los Angeles childhood neighborhood. Over the past few years, she has tirelessly raised $25 million to bring this dream to fruition.
Haddish’s ambitious plan involves the creation of Diaspora Groceries, an alternative and affordable food market set to grace the Crenshaw neighborhood of South LA. Crenshaw, known for its predominantly Black population and cultural significance, has been associated with icons like the late Nipsey Hussle and Ice-T.
While Haddish has achieved significant success in the entertainment industry, she underscores that the grocery store project holds profound personal importance. She envisions the store as a catalyst for positive change within the local community.
Diaspora Groceries, as outlined on its website, will primarily cater to BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) individuals. While the official launch date remains undisclosed, Haddish has shared some enticing details about what the store will offer.
“There will be specialty things and a normal market and a nonprofit-like educational component, where people can take cooking classes and a financial literacy class,” Haddish said. “I’m a firm believer that once you understand how money works, once you understand how food works, you become a healthier, happier human being. And when you’re healthier and happier, the family’s healthier and happier, and the community’s healthier and happier.”
Haddish’s journey from poverty and childhood experiences of homelessness and food insecurity have deeply informed her commitment to addressing these issues. She views food insecurity as a deeply personal concern and envisions her grocery store initiative as a beacon of hope for those who have faced similar hardships.
With unwavering determination and a $25 million fundraising effort, Tiffany Haddish is on the path to establishing a purpose-driven and inclusive grocery store that seeks to uplift and support her Los Angeles community.
