As we wrap up our mini series focusing on kids and resources for young families we would like to introduce our new series on environmental conservation. It just so happens that we have the perfect guest  to help us transition us over into our next series; meet Jennifer Suzara-Cheng, a local children’s book author who writes about her most beloved subjects: Biology and Environmental Science. As a science teacher at San Pedro High School, Jennifer has already invested into our local youth, making a difference in our hometown by instilling the importance of taking care of our  environment at a young age.  Well, Jennifer thought she could do better, and she did!  She is now reaching our community at an even younger age with her environmental and science themed children's books. In this episode she shares what it was like growing up in the Philippines, how her curiosity for science started and how she ended up in San Pedro, CA. Jennifer has received the 2022 Teacher of the Year Award for the Los Angeles - Orange County Chapter and is also recognized for academic excellence in education and promotion of the Tagalog language.

In this mini series focusing on kids and family resources, we are very excited to share with you this episode with guest Mike Lansing. Mike is the founder of the San Pedro Youth  Coalition, founded in 1988 which is responsible for so many popular places in our community for kids and families. He has  been the Executive Director at the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Los Angeles Harbor for over 29 years. Having grown up in San Pedro and being a young member of the San Pedro Boys Club, he saw the many benefits of having a place between home and school where he could develop new skills and be active. Since then the Boys Club has expanded to girls and in large part due to Mike’s efforts, the Harbor area clubs now also have more programs for teenagers and academic advancement.   Mike is a hero without a cape in this community and it's good to know that people like Mike are working to make this world a better place for our youth.

In today’s episode we had the honor and privilege of interviewing local musician and woodworker  Harold Greene. You may remember him from the cover of the San Pedro Today Magazine back in August 2020 which we encourage you to read (linked below) as you may realize you might already be familiar with his work. In our conversation he shares with us his amazing journey as a musician, as a runner and, of course, as an expert craftsman in woodworking. From early childhood, to his education at  San Pedro public schools, to his time as lead guitarist in a local 70’s band called Titanic, and finally to his  journey as a woodworker that started at Dodson Jr.  High School and picked up again at the San Pedro public library when he borrowed a woodworking book, Harold tells us his incredible story.

As part of our nonprofit series, we sit with Kevin Wallner, a former personal trainer who now runs a nonprofit serving people who are currently unhoused. His journey from Washington to San Pedro involved overcoming some physical and mental challenges, meeting his soulmate and lots of personal growth. He found friendship and support in an unexpected place which led him to start The Restoration Project which actively serves our unhoused neighbors in the Wilmington Community.  His teams approach to serving is not about fixing the problems of those on the streets but being available to them when they're in need. Currently they are a pop up event that takes place twice a month in Wilmington, serving food, providing clothes and hygiene products as well as free haircuts. The next big thing for The Restoration Project is funding a day center to provide additional resources for the unhoused community.  We really enjoyed our conversation with Kevin and hope you enjoy this episode.  Share this episode and information with friends, family or co-workers and leave us a review.

She reminded us of why listening to your intuition is such a fruitful power we all hold. In our conversation she shares what it was like for her to open in February  2020 just before a global pandemic and how her small business defied all odds of survival in its first years by bringing much needed women’s apparel to San Pedro.

We continue our series featuring local nonprofits in San Pedro.  This week's guests co-captain the small-but-mighty nonprofit, San Pedro Meals On Wheels. President/chef, Susan McKenna, and chef/office manager Mike Caccavalla, along with dozens of local volunteers prepare and deliver meals with a side of humanity to numerous home-bound neighbors. Get ready for some laughs and inspiration as Mike and Susan share about their backstories and the history behind the organization, its evolution and how it has grown. The continued success to stave off hidden hunger is due in large part to the volunteering spirit of San Pedrans and neighboring volunteers. There are  a number of ways to support Meals on Wheels San Pedro from Mondays “Chop-and-Chat” to delivery drivers to neighborly check-ups with more information listed and linked below.
