Fascinating Take on US Pop!
"Such a powerful and emotional story about the Eaton Fire and the impact it had on the Black community of Altadena. It’s really moving when lesser-known communities get the spotlight, especially when their stories have often been overshadowed by wealthier areas as in the case of the January fires. This fire has affected so many lives, and taken many as well, like Victor. I’m glad that the residents of Altadena are finally getting to share their story of devastation and resilience. This podcast is such a meaningful way to honor the memories and experiences of the Altadena residents. I cannot wait to catch the next episode.
