Yennie Lam, Paul Livingstone, and Alma Cielo speak on creative rebirth through embers and fire.
Paul Livingstone, and his wife Alma Cielo showed up with open hearts and incredible generosity. Paul and Alma are long-time Altadena residents who were personally affected by the fires, and they spoke about how that experience became a catalyst for leaning even deeper into their art and their purpose. Our opening performer, Yennie Lam, brought her signature blend of electric violin and soul to the morning and elevated every moment she played.
