"Altadena represented prosperity. It represented joy. It represented unity and Black excellence. And for that to all burn to pieces, it's just absolutely devastating," said Richard-Craven. "It's like, if a history book just lit on fire. This is a history that is deep... Altadena was long considered a haven for Black families who began settling there at the turn of the 20th century and continued trickling in as the years ensued. Some had escaped segregation in the South and took refuge in a place that did not subscribe to the racist criteria of the era for land ownership, an anomaly even in California." - CBS News We acknowledge and respect the W̱SÁNEĆ and lək̓ʷəŋən peoples on whose traditional territory we live on as uninvited guests. The Songhees, Esquimalt and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples, whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day, have stewarded this land since time immemorial. It is grave seriousness that we must observe the continued violence and harm of capitalism & colonialism, which have sought to disassociate Indigenous people from their unceded lands. 🎵 KŪMAIMI On the 1’s and 2’s, KŪMAIMI spins deep cuts and beats from the Afro-Diaspora. 🎸 HOT POT [Funk, Soul, Hip-Hop, Reggae] What’s in the pot? HOT POT is a gaggle of baddies that bounce in the space between Jazz, RnB, Reggae, Funk, Soul, Hip-Hop, and other genres of black music from this hemisphere, enhanced with a strong Asian flavour. They love laying down a feral groove and busting out moves with the crowd, almost as much as they love talking about themselves in third person. 🥁 Fangirl [Pop Punk, Surf Rock] Just 3 lil freaks makin tunes for lil freaks in so-called Victoria, BC.
