Nothing beats classic cinema and real brotherhood.

Dropping Charles and me right into Boyz n the Hood and Twins. Always a great time chopping it up with a true, genuine soul.

Hope y’all are having a great day! What’s your favorite classic movie from back in the day?

Rest in Peace 🙏 David Mireles 🕊️

"Hello, family and friends. I've taken it upon myself to create this fundraiser on behalf of my cousin Austin. His father, David Mireles, has gone missing in California. Our family is very concerned for his whereabouts, as he is at risk with health conditions. Austin’s valiant efforts to search for his dad have been greatly acknowledged, but unfortunately, he cannot financially sustain the search efforts. Austin has a family of 4 and works a blue-collar trade in Colorado. PTO isn’t in abundance, unfortunately. Any donations to help relieve any financial burden would be greatly appreciated. The last thing my cousin should have to worry about during this uncertain period is how he’s going to take care of his family as well as search for his dad. Again, anything helps and is appreciated. If you are unable to donate, we kindly ask that you keep my uncle David and our family in your prayers and share this fundraiser with others" - Daniel Berroteran for Austin Mireles

¡Emmett Till Presente!

"On this day, 28 August 1955, Emmett Till, a 14-year-old Black boy, was brutally murdered by two white men in Mississippi. Till was accused of propositioning a white woman named Carolyn Bryant, and dubbed a "wolf-whistler" by media outlets like the Washington Post.

Bryant's husband and his half-brother then kidnapped, tortured and shot him in the head. The men were put on trial for murder but despite Overwhelming evidence of their guilt, they were acquitted by an all-white jury, in which Black people were barred from participating. The murderers later proudly admitted their guilt, and sold their story to a magazine for $4,000. According to author Timothy Tyson, Bryant herself later admitted that her court testimony about Till's advances was a lie. At Till's funeral, his mother, Mamie Till-Mobley made the decision to have an open casket, so that everyone could see the mutilated remains of what had been his face. His killing and the acquittal of the murderers provoked national outrage, and gave added impetus to the civil rights movement. In particular it inspired Rosa Parks' act of defiance exactly 100 days later, was thinking of Till when she decided to refuse to move to the back of a segregated bus.

In 2008 a historical marker was erected to Till in Mississippi. It was destroyed by white racists, as were two replacement markers. In late 2019, the latest memorial which was riddled with bulet holes was replaced by a 500 lb steel sign covered with bulletproof glass.

Échale ganas with Si Se Puede, Youth! ✊🏽

A decade ago, I had the honor of serving as a youth coordinator at the YMCA on Haley Street. My days were spent walking the halls of SBJH and SBHS, inviting our local youth to the center for free meals provided by SBUSD, art sessions, and workshops on nutrition and fitness.

We made memories all across town; afternoons at Ortega Park, live shows at the Santa Barbara Bowl, and special screenings at SBIFF.

Ten years later, what hits the hardest is running into these same kids (and their parents too!) around town and social media. Many are grown young adults now, building careers and raising their own families. Knowing we built a space where they felt seen and supported means everything.

Time flies.
