<p>Growing up, I was taught to say that I was “ok” when I really wasn’t. Mental health just wasn’t something that anyone in my family or community talked about or even had access to. Yet pretty much everyone was affected by it. </p> <p>Today, young people of color are disproportionately affected by mental health issues and are not getting the resources they need, and I want to change that. </p> <p>And this is why this podcast exists.</p> <p>Yeah No, I’m Not Ok, my new podcast made in collaboration with LAist Studios, is here to open up the conversation about mental health. Every week we will explore issues that youth face all over the world (addiction, depression, anxiety, suicide, radical self love, and much much more) through conversations with friends, colleagues, activists, artists and health care professionals, all people who have gone through something life-changing and are now healing from it. </p> <p>We want to start a mental health revolution. A movement that can start by talking about how we feel. One where we’re not ashamed of our own human experience. </p> <p>What will feel like simple conversations among friends will really become a complex narrative of what is happening right now, especially to young people of color. With a real and emotional sound and few easy answers, Yeah No, I’m Not Ok will hopefully become a critical show in a critical time, a place for you to bring your complicated feelings and spend time with people who are rooting for you.</p> <p>– Diane Guerrero</p> <p>This LAist Studios podcast is sponsored by BetterHelp and our listeners get 10% off their first month of online therapy at <a href="http://betterhelp.com/LAist" data-stringify-link="http://BetterHelp.com/LAist" data-sk="tooltip_parent">BetterHelp.com/LAist</a></p> <p>Support for this podcast is made possible by Gordon and Dona Crawford, who believe that quality journalism makes Los Angeles a better place to live.<br><br>This program is made possible in part by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, a private corporation funded by the American people.</p>

<p>Amid the devastating Palisades and Eaton Fires that killed more than two dozen people, a political conflict came sharply into focus surrounding the funding of the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD). Finger-pointing as to who was to blame included former LA Fire Chief Kristin Crowley and LA Mayor Karen Bass. The two women would be lambasted for their handling of one of the most destructive natural disasters in Southern California history. But instead of coming together to fend off attacks and manage the fire response, Bass and Crowley ended up engaging in a very public feud. We look back at each side's accusations, the funding of the LAFD, the political futility of blame, and what it might tell us about preventing future wildfires in Los Angeles.</p> <p>Grow your business–no matter what stage you’re in.

<p>The biggest question hanging over most people in Los Angeles who lost homes in the Palisades and Eaton Fires is whether to rebuild or leave -- a question that's especially fraught for Altadena's Black community, who faced a long history of redlining.</p> <p>Charel Bailey’s parents have lived in Altadena since 1977, and she desperately wants them to rebuild after the fire. Her dad has been on the fence. We follow the Baileys as they grapple with this question and ultimately, come to a decision.</p> <p>Grow your business–no matter what stage you’re in.
