Episode 8 features an interview with Sonya Kay Blake, President and CEO of The Valley Economic Alliance. The Alliance serves businesses, educational institutions and community organizations of all sizes to achieve economic vitality and prosperity in the greater San Fernando Valley region and has worked with Metro on engagement for projects such as the G Line (Orange Line) and now the East San Fernando Valley Light Rail Transit (ESFV LRT). Blake shares her journey from the east coast to the west coast, and how she weaved her art gallery dreams into guiding California entrepreneurs at the local and state levels to now leading the charge at The Alliance.
