Lilia Ramirez aka Liliflor is a well known artist in East LA. She shares her passion with us through her art & teaches us everyday about pride & ownership. I had a great conversation with Liliflor about growing up chicano and never forgetting your roots. She helped me learn about the introduction of Dia De Los Muertos in Southern California and we spoke about the Chavez Ravine story we all need to learn more of and share with others!

Check out her work through murals all over Los Angeles, CA or follow her on any of the platforms found one the link below...
