Assemblymember Sydney Kamlager: California State Assembly District 54

06/11/20 • 37 min

Assemblymember Sydney Kamlager represents the 54th Assembly District of California, encompassing Baldwin Hills, the Crenshaw community, all of Culver City, Ladera Heights, Leimert Park, Mar Vista, Mid-City Los Angeles, Palms, Pico-Union, Westwood and Windsor Hills. Kamlager has dedicated her work to creating solutions for equity and justice. In 2019, she passed two bills that incorporated implicit bias training into continued education for healthcare professionals, lawyers and judges. She serves as the Chair of the Select Committee on Incarcerated Women and a member of the board of Planned Parenthood Los Angeles. She’s also now the author of a new bill called The C.R.I.S.E.S Act, which calls for community-groups, over the police, to respond to 911 calls from people during a mental health crisis, unhoused people, people exposed to community violent, and people with substance abuse disorders. In this episode, Assemblymember Kamlager gives us a lesson on what it really means to defund the police, her thoughts on policy reform and The Justice in Policing Act of 2020, and why she believes bills like The C.R.I.S.E.S Act is the answer to taking power away from police and back in the hands of our communities.

Ezinma: Violinist

Ezinma is a classically-trained violinist, composer, and model, who’s captured the hearts of thousands through her genre-bending covers that have gone viral. Known on Instagram as “Classical Bae,” Ezinma’s sound combines her classical background with the beat of today’s greatest hits, and can often be found sharing her sound on the streets of New York or with her electric violin in a nightclub. Ezinma got her big break when she received a message on Facebook from Beyoncé’s musical director to join the singer on stage at Barclay’s Center. She then joined Beyoncé on tour for three years, and went on to also collaborate with incredible talent like Stevie Wonder, Kendrick Lamar, and Jorja Smith. Today, Ezinma is a solo artist with a mission to defy the “classical violinist” stereotype. She recently signed to Universal Classics and plans to release her debut project, “Beethoven Pleads The Fifth,” in Summer of 2020. In this episode, Ezinma tells us about her upbringing in Nebraska and being labeled an “orch dork,” what it was like to work alongside Beyonce and manifest your own dreams, and how she plans to break musical boundaries and disrupt the classical industry with her first album.
