THE COLLECTIVE
ON SUBSTACK
The Collective focuses on everyday people to share the stories of those who do work for our communities and inspire love, connection, and empowerment. It is about those who bring us together to care for the impoverished, those with disabilities, immigrants, disadvantaged youth, and the planet. It is a space for conversation and an exchange of ideas with those who work to spread communal love in a collective effort to bring us all together as One.
The Collective Radio show is recorded, every other Sunday from 3-4 pm PST, at KQBH 101.5 FM, with the Boyle Heights Arts Conservatory.
Shows, special After Dark Episodes, and Encores episodes are posted on Tuesday Nights.
Substack also has features for blogs and videos:
