Mwen woule moute pantalon mwen ak manch pou teste marengwen nan sovaj la. Èske li te travay?

Pou ou, lektè chè LAist nou yo, mwen pral ale kilomèt siplemantè. E sa gen ladan plonje tèt mwen desann akote rivyè Los Angeles la pou kèk jou dènyèman, nan yon lakou li te ye pou yo te Antrenè pou marengwen, yo wè si yon etalaj de marengwen repouse teknoloji - ak lòt repouse pa sa yo- teknoloji - te kapab pwoteje m 'soti nan sa yo biters pesky.

(Pandan ke ete ka fini, sezon an marengwen, ki te patikilyèman visye ane sa a, dire nan Novanm).

Isit la yo se rezilta yo nan tès admèt mwen pa trè-syantifik, men ou ka jwenn yon sans de sa ki te travay byen, ak sa ki pa t 'travay konsa byen, sou jou yo mwen te pase nan lakou kòlèg mwen an. (Li di li vin ti jan nan lakou sal li tout tan tout tan an.)

Our region is one of endless experiences and needs, making it tough to find out what you want to know. So often, basic questions get overlooked and answers are bogged down by confusing jargon. I aim to help you make sense of big issues we’re facing, discover community and get resources in an easygoing way.

I started at LAist in 2020 and have stayed busy. I report for L.A. Explained and Queer LA, and I’m the lead author of our public-facing style guide, Dialogue. While I’ve lived in Los Angeles for more than a decade, I learn something new from people every day.
