ITZ Happenin show was joined by incoming Harvard law student and Director of Santa Ana Youth (SAY) Vote. We talked about his deep involvement in local Santa Ana politics that started in 2020. We also talked at length about the issues affecting the youth of this country under the Trump administration, what he and SAY Vote did and are doing to empower young people to get civically engaged, and about the role that AOC and other young elected officials have had in inspiring youth to get involved and even run for office. It was great talking to Diego and we look forward to a future with more young people like him, fighting to make this world a better place!

Join us for the ITZ Happenin! Studio Open House tomorrow at Grand Central Art Center. Yours truly (Joese Gloria) is honored to have chosen to be an artist-in-residence at Grand Central Art Center. I've been able to utilize a space there to film the ITZ Happenin! Show podcasts, and I also want to be able to support other local artists and content creators in pursuing their dreams.
Along with the Open House, we will also have an art exhibit with the amazingly talented Andres Rivera and his son Ezequiel (who is a chip off the old colombian block 👦 🎨) with over 30 different Art pieces from both of them. Well also have an area for kids to draw with chalk and play with some of the puppets we have.

Kid friendly event for all! Come be a part of the magic. ITZ Happenin! To the fullest! 2025 and beyond ✊🏽
