101+ Latino-Owned Brands to Support in 2026 and Beyond
September through November is the busiest time of year for Melissa Gallardo’s candle brand Valorosa. Hispanic Heritage Month is from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, and Dia de los Muertos — Day of the Dead — is traditionally celebrated on Nov. 1 and 2, so interest in Latino culture skyrockets during these months, as does the traffic to Gallardo’s site. With her candles encompassing nostalgic Latino scents like cafecito con leche, elote and lavender fabulosa, Gallardo’s mission is to celebrate Latino culture and put that representation on shelves. Latino-owned businesses are the fastest-growing segment of small businesses in the U.S., with over 5 million businesses owned by Latino/a entrepreneurs in the country, according to the Stanford Latino Entrepreneurship Initiative (SLEI). Though Latino business owners have solidified their role as strong contributors to American economic activity, they face a string of unique challenges compared to white, non-Latino business owners. “On one hand, the awareness around multiculturalism in all aspects of life — fashion, culture and food — is higher than ever,” says Maritza Abreu, founder and …
Pros and cons of COVID pandemic California desert life
YUCCA VALLEY, Calif. — Tyler Gaul strode across the sprawling backyard of his Yucca Valley home and surveyed the rocky hillside a few steps away from the pool and basketball court that sit atop his 2-acre property. When he first moved to the desert from Los Angeles last fall, this jagged landscape granted him a sense of serenity as the crowded city he left behind grappled with a pandemic. Gaul, who runs his own skin care company, knew it was time to move when he could no longer exercise outside his Echo Park apartment — his respite from stay-at-home orders — because of wildfire smoke polluting the air. Constant and worsening wildfires, paired with a public health crisis, proved to be too much. Classic stories from the Los Angeles Times’ 143-year archive “I have a lung condition, and I was like, ‘No, I can’t do this anymore,’” he recalled. So he set out for the desert. Like many other city dwellers who have fled urban sprawl over the last year and a half, Gaul sought shelter in …
“Dear White People” visits the “Big Brother” Cookout via a pointed parody of reality show racism
“Dear White People” could not have asked for a better concluding coincidence than the parallel between this season’s show-within-a-show “Big House” and the current cycle of “Big Brother,” the CBS reality show it parodies. The 23rd round of “Big Brother” is set to be the first in the show’s existence in which a Black player will win. This is all thanks to The Cookout, an alliance of Black players who secretly agreed to stick together near the top of the season expressly to achieve that purpose. Reactions to The Cookout have fallen along predictable lines, with an offending slice of the “Big Brother” viewership boo-hooing about this alliance’s supposedly racist underpinnings. This intentionally ignores all the prior seasons’ history of treating racism as a sideshow attraction and white players excluding people of color with a regularity you can set your watch to. Before The Cookout only one Black person made it to any Fiinal Six over the past 11 seasons, as Reality Blurred’s Andy Dehnart reports in his concise breakdown of the team’s extraordinary run. Now …

13 L.A. parking tips for valet, garages, and more
When I was growing up, many a family outing was ruined when my dad, in a fit of frustration, would turn the car around and drive us all home when he couldn’t find a place to park. As fate would have it, parking emerged as my superpower in adulthood. Prime spots materialize as soon as I pull up, and I rarely have to pay much for them. It is a potent gift to have, especially in Los Angeles, and one so foolproof and legendary that I have become the default driver any time I go out with friends and family (much to the relief of my perpetually parking-challenged dad). But here’s a secret: Parking, like poker, is not solely a matter of luck. With patience and skill, you can improve your odds and game the system. Take it from a pro. Classic stories from the Los Angeles Times’ 143-year archive 1. Make plans with yellow loading zones in mind This is the most basic parking hack in L.A.: In yellow loading zones, parking is free, …
