This is the future of community-centered journalism, and I am proud to be an LA Local.
✨My neighborhood, our LA
As my @fylpro.bsky.social brother and @tayohelp.bsky.social collaborator Dr. Iko Razon’s uncle challenged him, "what did you create today?" I can proudly say that I’ve been part of a team creating something special for LA, our home.

You’ll also see regional coverage from our partners that help keep you informed on crucial issues.
We are building with a team of local reporters and editors, listening to residents, telling regionwide stories and connecting neighborhoods from Boyle Heights to South LA and beyond.
Local news is essential for everyday civic life. When we all have access to trusted, rigorous reporting, we all feel more connected, more resilient and more powerful. That’s why I’m proudly supporting The LA Local as they scale their nonprofit model across the region.
Today is a special day that marks a milestone in the
LA Local journey.
I’m proud to share The LA Local’s news site is officially live!

The Cycle of Care by Joshua Ang Price

It's a great a start to more collaborations on courageous conversations in the future.
Read caregiving stories:
When Family Means Care by Frances (Maher) Rodriguez
aginginamerica.news/2025/12/15/w...
www.tayohelp.com/en-us/indept...
Co-publishing both pieces on both sites not only amplifies the impact also exposes the stories to new audiences.
It sheds a light on expanding what caregiving can look like beyond medical care facilities and all that comes with caring for a family member.
Aging in America's mission is “Reinventing care for older Americans, one story at a time.”
The result was two incredibly intimate and important stories of what caregiving means by two of Tayo's core leaders Joshua Ang Price and Frances Angela (Maher) Rodriguez.
When I think of being part of a community, collaboration is at the heart of that.
When fellow @tinynewscollective.bsky.social member Mark Swartz of Aging in America approached @fylpro.bsky.social's
@tayohelp.bsky.social to partner on caregiving stories in the Filipino community, it was a no brainer
