In this episode we are focusing on highlighting local small business and restaurant owners. We interviewed Ralph Walde, Co-Owner of Aymara Peruvian Kitchen and Julian Anguiano, Owner of Mystyx Kafe. Aymara Peruvian Kitchen is a genuine Peruvian concept located in East LA serving flavorful Peruvian cuisine, using only fresh ingredients. The menu has a variety of tasty dishes including ceviche, signature lomo saltado, Peruvian-style fried rice & stir-fry noodles, and homemade salsas. Mytstyx Kafe is a street pop up located in the East LA community. The coffee stand carries a certain spooky and goth aesthetic, but it doesn’t stop there- their dark drinks often shaken with sin will surely introduce you to the dark side!

For Women’s History Month, we highlighted two women that have made an impact in the Boyle Heights community, whether it’s through activism, entrepreneurship, music, and/or in educational settings. Roxana Dueñas is an Ethnic Studies and History teacher at the Math, Science and Technology Magnet at Roosevelt High School in Boyle Heights. It is her gender and ethnic studies coursework that inspired and influenced her to pursue a teaching career with a specific emphasis on social justice and transformative education in urban schools. Sizzle Fantastic is a native of Guerrero, Mexico, and was raised in Boyle Heights, California. She is an Entrepreneur, Dj, Restaurant Owner, Public Speaker, and former Labor-Immigrant rights Organizer. She uplifts and centers women, migrant, queer, and working-class BIPOC communities through music, art, and activism.
