We Love You L.A.

We are heartbroken and grieving the immense loss caused by the Los Angeles wildfires this past week. And while our Aunties are thankfully safe, we’re not in the clear yet. The real work is what lies in the weeks, months and years ahead. Ku talks about evacuating her home, and what she’s doing to protect her family. Su talks about the community of  Altadena, and who we leave behind when we move on too quickly. Plus, how you can help support those impacted by the wildfires. 

We want to hear from you! Drop us a message on Speakpipe.
