These startups and artists will receive complimentary roaming coworking office space and amenities, along with networking and mentoring opportunities with non-profit organizations, fellow startups, and veteran industry leaders.

All applicants must demonstrate a past commitment to community engagement or volunteerism and be willing to offer their unique gifts, talents or services to help our participating non-profits in exchange for program benefits. Artists and startups can come from any field but must be local to Los Angeles.

As a hybrid entertainment and tech startup, we’ve been working tirelessly to build exciting and new platforms that we hope will transform the storytelling experience. In order to bring these new projects to life, we’re excited to announce that we’ve welcomed Ellyn Anderson to our team as our VP of Data and Engineering. This NYU Tandon School of Engineering graduate has worked as a project manager for OrgVitality, a data analyst for the NYC Department of Design and Construction, and most recently has been developing a site which provides a platform to voice experiences of discrimination to help leverage communities to action.
We couldn’t be more excited to welcome Ellyn to the team. #technology #team #tech #startup #developer #engineer #entertainment #losangeles #hollywood #techstartup #platform #appdeveloper #productioncompany #gamedesign #nyu #nyualumni @nyutandon

Hello from the Multipod! Did you know that @secondhome_la received the designation of “Best Architecture” by the @wsj in 2019? This historic property was preserved and renovated by Second Home and was first designed by legendary architect Paul Williams in the 1960s. Mr. Williams was the first African-American inducted into the @aianational (American Institute of Architects). His work and vision can still be felt and seen all across this dynamic space. We’re so proud to call this space our Second Home. #architecture #blackhistory #losangeles #hollywood #losangelesarchitecture #amazingplaces #historicpreservation #history #secondhome

In a Rare Public Appearance, the Queen Knights Captain Tom

In these difficult times we are reminded what extraordinary service looks like. Congratulations to Sir Tom Moore for his recent knighthood by Queen Elizabeth II.

"Captain Tom" as he is affectionately known proudly served as a soldier in the Allied Forces during World War II. He again heeded the call to service by raising $40,000,000 for healthcare workers and first responders on the frontlines of COVID-19.

Not so shabby for a 100 years old! Thank you for your service and remember there are countless ways you can contribute to your community in these difficult times.

In the weeks before the ceremony to honor the 100-year-old war veteran and fund-raiser, some had wondered whether Britons would see Queen Elizabeth in person again.

Today marks the anniversary of D-Day. We’d like to take pause and share our gratitude to the thousands of forgotten Black soldiers who stormed the beaches of Normandy in an effort to liberate Europe from Nazi occupation. These heroes returned home after defeating the Third Reich to face Jim Crow laws, segregation, police brutality, and lynchings. America would not be here without them and yet their service and sacrifice have gone largely unnoticed. Please take a moment to hear one of their stories.

German mortars and mines wiped out nearly two dozen landing craft. Aboard one of the surviving vessels was a combat medic named Corporal Waverly Woodson. After his ship hit a German mine he found his flesh pierced by multiple pieces of shrapnel. He would not be stopped in his mission to save others.

Despite his injuries he provided care to over 200 wounded soldiers before collapsing after 30 hours of exhausting, lifesaving work. During that time he removed bullets, provided transfusions, performed amputations, and saved countless fellow human beings. Several days later he was back on his feet and returned to the frontlines. We know the content of his character.

He passed away in 2005. He has yet to receive the Medal of Honor he deserves. We’ll be supporting his widow in that push by signing this petition: https://sign.moveon.org/petitions/congressional-medal-wwii

His courage and spirit are very much alive today. We see it in the streets. We see it in communities all across this nation and around the world. Black lives mattered then and they matter now. While we cannot change history, we can choose to forge a better path forward.

We will also be making a donation to Black Lives Matter today to honor the countless Black men and women who had their lives and legacies stolen by hate. We must say these heroes names and share their stories.

Some of the heroes enlisted, some were drafted, and some were ordinary people whose lives were taken unjustly and far too soon. They are all heroes in our eyes. We should say their names as often as we can.

George Floyd is one of them. Breonna Taylor is one of them. Emmett Till is one of them. As George Floyd’s daughter remarked, “Daddy changed the world!” Let’s make sure that little girl’s words ring true. Let‘s make sure she grows up in a better world.
