A historic downtown Phoenix building is now home to an African market, restaurant and bar

A historic building in downtown Phoenix is full of Phoenix history, but now is full of African history and culture as well. 

The Diaspora Collective is home to a market and a restaurant and bar. It's located in Heritage Square in downtown Phoenix and it's the brainchild of Evelia Davis.

The Show visited her there and got a tour of the place, and learned about what it means to her — and, she hopes, to Phoenix.
