Kilo Martin: Promotora Power – How One Community Organization In Westlake Is Turning Movement Into Medicine.

LA Radio Club Season 1 Episode 7

2025 Reporter in Residence Kilo Martin takes us behind the scenes with Central City Neighborhood Partners (CCNP), a nonprofit serving the Westlake/Pico-Union neighborhood. Initiatives like their community Posada focus on supporting mental health through an unlikely vehicle: dance. Hear how CCNP is bringing the community together and helping to break down the stigma around mental health.
