AN AMAZING COLLECTION OF AUTHENTIC AFRICAN ARTIFACTS, CLOTHING, MATERIAL AND A HUGE HOUSE FULL OF SO MUCH MORE! Written by the late Zen'e's daughter,During my mom’s first trip to South Africa, she met kindred spirits, artists and clothing designers that introduced her to more art than she could house. As local people became more and more interested in buying art, my mom’s business “Africentricity” was born.Africentricity was not only a way to sell art, it was a platform for my mother to educate her community about African history and culture.Her friendships with the artists she met in Africa were a direct connection to bringing a unique experience to the city. My mom was able to create displays for local school events, she showcased art for major concerts, and hosted events for people looking to bring art into their homes.She always dreamed about having a home in the Boston Edison District and selling African art from 829 Chicago was a joy for her!! Obituary: Zené lived an abundant and extraordinary life! She was born Frances L. Johnson on Monday, Valentine’s Day, February 14, 1949 in Detroit's Historic Black Bottom to Willie and Ernest Johnson. After being double promoted for her academic accomplishments, she graduated as “Best Dressed” & Class Secretary from Northwestern High School’s Class of 1966. She then attended the HBCU Wilberforce University (in Wilberforce, OH) and was the first person in her family to earn a bachelor’s degree in 1970.After returning to Detroit, Frances was hired as one of the first black female probation officers for the State Of Michigan Department Of Corrections. Frances then attended The Shrine Of The Black Madonna where she was baptized and renamed as Zené Diallo, with the intention of revolutionizing racial tensions and empowering her community. That intention was fulfilled throughout her work personally and professionally as she touched so many lives.In the mid and late 1970s she celebrated the birth of her children Talibah and Askia.Zené understood the concept of “multiple streams of income” and expanded her love of modeling, African Art, cosmetology, and baking into fruitful entrepreneurial businesses.Zené frequently traveled and was a social butterfly who was passionate about a variety of hobbies including her work with the Boston-Edison Historic District Historical Society, and she enjoyed DIY home projects, sewing, bike riding, racquetball, teaching yoga, landscaping and gardening, concerts, long drives filled with music, ballroom dancing, family gatherings and keeping in touch with all her friends.A woman blessed with unwavering faith, Zené served faithfully at Fellowship Chapel for many years.
