Live from L.A. Stories, a reading and fire relief fundraiser I presented at Murmurs Gallery on April 27th, 2025. Ticket sales benefited Altadena Girls. Featured readers included Wendy C. Ortiz, Anna Dorn, Jasmine Johnson, Alicia Novella Vasquez, Heather Jewett, Tasbeeh Herwees, Taleen Kali, Clement Goldberg, and Marcel Alcalá (you won't hear Alicia included here though–you'll have to wait for her publication for that!). I read something too! Thank you to Gabby Datau and Morgan Elder at Murmurs for hosting us!  

Wendy's three books just got reissued! Buy them! 

Listen to Taleen's music–she's touring the west coast this summer. 

Read Heather's writing & listen to her podcast on Planet Heather.

Make Anna's "Perfume and Pain" your first summer read.

Tasbeeh has a fab new LA-centric Substack called NO BAD DAYS. 

See Marcel's painting "Anima" at Various Small Fires in Orange County through May 31st. 

Watch what Jasmine makes, always. 

Make Clement's "New Mistakes" your first summer read. 

Keep supporting Altadena Girls. Send me proof of your donation of $5 or more by the date specified in the episode to be entered into the raffle!

Thanks to Margot Padilla for engineering and editing this episode.
