With group events and public gatherings currently on hold, it’s more important than ever to find new ways to stay connected. That’s why Metro began a series of “Community Conversations,” which are online meetings hosted by community leaders to help us learn the histories, art, activism and cultural assets of the neighborhoods that shape Los Angeles County.

A recap of the previous conversation, Stories from our South LA, is available here.

Sonya Kay Blake.

The next conversation — Main Street San Fernando Valley: Sustainable Economic Futures — will take place from noon to 1 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 30. with Sonya Kay Blake, President & CEO of The Valley Economic Alliance. Ms. Blake will be discussing the past, present, and future development of Main Street commercial clusters of the San Fernando Valley.

The conversation is free to join! Make sure to RSVP in order to receive the virtual meeting link and call in information.
