In our 53rd episode, Lucine Poturyan, born and raised in East Hollywood and now an official District Representative of the East Hollywood Neighborhood Council, joins us for a galvanizing conversation. Lucine speaks with us about her time as a student at Wesleyan University in Connecticut, why she decided to run for a seat on the Council this past March ’21, goals she’s set for her tenure with the EHNC, and how her Armenian heritage informs all of her work as a scholar and activist for working-class communities in Los Angeles today.
