Aisha Majid

Aisha Majid left her native Tanzania 17 years ago to settle in California, but she never forgot the colorful fashions and fabrics of her homeland. So five years ago, she and husband Pete Mhunzi, who teaches African-American history at Pasadena City College, opened Kilimanjaro International boutique on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. They sell imported African garments, Majid's line of men's, women's and children's ready-to-wear and Majid's custom designs.
