REPPIN’ & REPORTIN’
Valley Views
RADIO SEGMENT
The Chicana in the City’s Reppin’ and Reportin’ radio segment on the Valley Views Show brought to you by KROJ 101.5 FM is putting the spotlight on rising creatives and talented individuals from the 818 who are representing our hood con mucho orgullo and impacting our community through their artistic endeavors and projects.
Whether it’s murals, poetry, short films, art shows, dance, music and/or theater, all of these grassroot avenues have been the core center and rich foundation of the San Fernando Valley. The 818 has been known to produce iconic artists from underrepresented minority communities and neighborhoods who have gone on to help put the 818 on the map and poured back into their hometown. The Valley is a wealth of cultural diversity that has impacted the history of art, flim, music and entertainment. As we know the most of the culturally rich parts of the 818 have birthed the most artistic creators, but they have also been plagued with violence, poverty and environmental racism. Leaving and pushing these artists to find resiliency through their creativity and turn trash and racists structures into ART. Insert the origins of rasquachismo and the Chicano Movement.
The Chicana in the City’s radio segment’s mission is to rep the 818, interview and profile rising talent and creatives who will pioneer the next artistic renaissance movement . While also paying homage to our very own iconic artistic trail blazers such as actor and comedian, Cheech Marin, to entrepreneur-entertainer, Danny Trejo, La Bamba singer, Ritchie Valens, visual artist, Judith Baca, poet and writer, Luis J. Rodriguez, Jessica Wilson, the Founder of LA POET SOCIETY, and our very own KROJ founding members to name a few.
Stay tuned for the creative spark you’ve been waiting for!
