There's something you should all be aware of. It's called Homeboy Industries and it's the best concept I heard of in a while. Placed in L.A. there's a bakery who takes in only former gang members, and invites the public to take part of the project. This is a way for these people to disconnect with their former lives and connect with a new one. Next door is a cafe by the name of Homegirl Industries and, well, it's the same concept except with girls obviously. People should support this! This is the website and I endorse you to check it out:
www.homeboy-industries.org.
It's just another reason to go to L.A. and next time I write about it, I might be there. Because this is a place I need to go and support the good cause. And if you're ever in the neighborhood, the address is 130 W Bruno Street, around Sunset Boulevard.
