📚️ COMING SOON: Hello CuratedLA Family, Wyatt here. As we approach our first anniversary in twelve days, January 17th, I am excited to share that our Curator Storytelling series is growing. I’ve interviewed Marianne Williamson, a bestselling author and presidential candidate, and am in talks with local resident Robert Kennedy Jr. for a potential interview. I’ve also reached out to our Mayor, Karen Bass.

While these interviews involve political figures, CuratedLA remains neutral and refrains from political opinions. For our interview with Marianne, politics were not discussed.

Our goal is to humanize our subjects, not discuss political issues. If you’d like to share your story or nominate someone, please reply to this email. Or email us: [email protected].

To good vibes and hang-tens or w/e is groovy and hip for 2024,
