  • Episode 2: Cultural Identity And Building A Community In L.A.

    Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of Surviving L.A., a podcast hosted by three L.A. natives. In this episode we talk about how we struggled with our cultural identity and what it meant to be a Latino and Chicana growing up in L.A. and how we strived to build a better community for ourselves and everyone around us. 

    Second shout out to the This Side of Hoover Instagram. We discovered a great Instagram profile called This Side of Hoover, documenting gentrification and resilience along the East Hollywood/Silverlake border. I highly recommend you give them a follow, it does a better job of archiving and informing all of us of East Hollywood's past and present better than we ever could.
