    Special Episode: Capital Hill Incident

    Hello everyone and welcome to a special episode of Surviving L.A., a podcast hosted by three L.A. natives. We decided to record last minute touching upon what happened on Capital Hill last week. I know it has been a tough week but we are here for you! Don't hesitate, you can reach out to us on social media or on our email listed below. Disclosure, we encountered an issue with the recording so we had to cut out the last couple of minutes. The podcast does not end with our traditional outro speech.

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

    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.

    Even though L.A. is a diverse, multiethnic population, do you feel as if your heritage/culture is well represented in this city? We would love to hear your thoughts! Please email us at survivinglapod@gmail.com
