In this episode Mariah Castañeda, co-founder and Audience Director at L.A Public Press, joins me to explore how independent media can reshape the narrative for underrepresented communities. Through her work, Mariah champions equitable access to food, shelter, and meaningful community connections, emphasizing the role of journalism in empowering marginalized voices.

We dive into how the lack of reliable local reporting allows corruption to flourish and discuss the importance of creating media that serves its community rather than exploiting it. Mariah reflects on strategies to bridge intergenerational divides and foster informed, connected communities by prioritizing accessible and accurate storytelling.
