On the podcast episode of "Conversation Live: Altadena Rising" with James Farr, Dr. Brent Musson joins us to ask the question Black Altadena is still living with thirty-two weeks after the fire: Generational Wealth Re?Imagined. Musson, an Altadena native, housing policy expert, award-winning researcher, former Town Council member, and TEDx Altadena organizer, brings insight shaped by expertise and lived experience: Asset-rich, cash-poor families. FEMA funds are still missing. Insurance is falling short. Rebuilding costs are stacking up. “…some may have to sell their land — not by choice, but by the force of limited options.

Dr. Musson breaks down practical, complex, and maybe controversial solutions as we explore whether this moment can flip the script on wealth, legacy, and community. Together, we confront what rebuilding really looks like and whether generational wealth in Altadena can survive — or be truly re?imagined.
