Dear Los Angeles,
We hear you. We cry with you. And we love you deeply. Uncover L.A. is an independent media company run by women of color and founded by a proud first-generation Filipina-American whose parents immigrated to the U.S. for a better life. Our platform was built on the spirit that makes this city unforgettable and that spirit comes from immigrants. From the families who planted roots here. From the dreamers who crossed borders. From those whose ancestors were forcibly brought to America. From the people who are Los Angeles. We may spotlight the glamour — the premieres, the pop-ups, the iconic rooftops — but it's always been about you, the heartbeat of this city. What's happening with the ICE raids across L.A. is not okay. We want to be clear: we stand with our immigrant communities, our neighbors, our families.Uncover L.A. is committed to using our platform to keep you informed, protected, and empowered. Stay safe. Stay loud. Stay L.A.
With love, Uncover L.A. 💛
