Living in Los Angeles During 5/29/20 Protests
I live in a Los Angeles suburb. I don’t think that much about my city in the sense I like to brag about the weather, or put down any part of my community. Wasn’t born here, but lived most of my life here, except for 10 years in No California. People put Southern California down…
