We Rise 2018 was a campaign launched by The Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health to raise awareness for mental health and provide a wide range of rehabilitative services for the city’s youth. As part of the initiative, a multi-day art festival was held in Downtown LA that included a pop-up art exhibition and programmed events throughout the week.

I served as an Event Coordinator for the Opening Rally, kicking off the week-long event. Featuring musicians, dancers, and speakers, it celebrated the community’s efforts to shine light on the issues of mental health. I coordinated with artists and their teams, ensuring a smooth run of show for the day.

Notable Participants: Common, Las Cafeteras, Los Rakas, Raja Kumari, Yesi Ortiz
