As we continue our series on amazing pop-up vendors that have emerged out of the pandemic, it is  our pleasure to introduce to you the creators behind the local pop-up business What the Succulent: Brittany Herrera, Antonina Herrera and  Angela Andrews. Unfortunately, only Brittany and Angela could join us for this episode but their stories will hit home with many of our European immigrant community. Angela tells us how her family immigrated from Sicily, Italy over the course of five years nearly fifty-one years ago. She describes what it was like settling into San Pedro and starting school as a young girl without speaking English. Brittany shares what it was like  growing up in a large Italian family here in San Pedro and how this community will always be her forever home.  Both women work professionally in other fields, Brittany as a social worker with Los Angeles County and Angela as Operation Project Specialist for Rainbow Services, and operate What the Succulent with their third partner Antonina as a business that grew from a beloved hobby.

Thanks for listening,
