Start your day off right! Remember, you are great. We ain’t perfect but we can do better than we did yesterday.

From the Hood to Oxford to Cal Berkeley. Lorena joins Alexz this week as co-host. Both are fans of Jesse, the Hood Scholar, World Traveller and Artist. Tap in as Jesse breaks down his Why as well as the importance of allowing yourself to be loved and that good things can happen to an LA Hood kid. Life is hard, but don’t give up.

What mask do you wear? Joseph poetically shares his story of surviving in the hood as well as thriving in the hood by being in touch with his emotions & breaking down machismo. Hear him spit words of encouragement to make it through. We all wear a mask; let’s encourage each other to be ourself, BE GREAT!

Eddie is a homie who used a camera and photography to fight against gang life, addiction and more. “You’ve got to fight to make the best of life, no matter what cards your dealt.”

"Mi Prima" Nicole and I tap into our shared compassion for the unhoused and injustices we witness and live by day to day.

Why we are Podcasting and what want to do with this platform.
