This is my curated poetry newsletter. Join me for some good words, won't you?

For eaters in Southern California that are interested in small restaurants where diverse communities get the foods they miss. Foods that inspire hunger and nostalgia for back home, and the stories that exist alongside them 🌍🌏🌎

This is a fantastic resource for those looking to explore local mom and pop restaurants in Los Angeles.

Sounds from my Brain

By Susie

Sometimes I ruminate on things and need to spew them out. Sometimes they are interesting!

This is a voice from home. Very personal and always funny, it is a mix of inner monologue, parenting wins and losses, and a little Abbott Elementary.

Ancient/Now

By Kara Cooney

History isn’t repeating itself; history is now

We all wanted to be Egyptologists when we were younger, now we can live vicariously through Kara & Jordan.
