Unheard LA: 'You Do Not Marginalize One Group In Favor Of Another. That Is Not The Way To Do It'

Many stories go untold, even more go unheard. As the nation reckons with systemic racism, our community-centered storytelling show Unheard LA is taking a deeper listen.

Join us for the second installment of this special series as Bruce Lemon Jr. hosts a virtual event featuring the stories of Cheryl Farrell, Aeden K, and the duo Eddy M. Gana Jr. and Stephanie Sajor, followed by a live conversation — all in collaboration with our Race in LA initiative. Dana Amihere, co-editor and developer of Race in LA, will also join us for the live conversation. RSVP here.

You can watch the great archival presentations from our past live Unheard LA shows and then hear the robust conversation that followed.
