In this collaborative ✍🏽📑, we discuss “confianza” as a horizontal leadership and mutual trust framework. Plus, we suggest how can use public history to develop trust within communities of color to create more inclusive examinations on Los Angeles multi-ethnic neighborhoods 2/7

The artwork included in the photo is an artistic representation of a Boyle Heights landmark, the mariachi bandshell or la peineta.

"Boyle Heights it’s a living poem, that you can feel, that you can touch, that you can hear, that you can dance to, that is Boyle Heights. The place of different flavors and sounds. If we lose that, it loses its soul."
