“TPF is the real deal. I have to say, though, do your homework. Study up at Calscapes.org. Only you know what your landscape looks like. You can bring a photo of what you are wanting to change. The local native plant nursery, which is privately owned, near Hahamongna, is not a good choice.”

“Loved this shop and the staff! Bikerowave is a an awesome non-profit with some reasonably priced bikes. The people are passionate about fixing bikes and making sure everyone can experience the joys of biking. Michael helped me pick a bike and spent 30 minutes talking through the different considerations in buying a used bike. He also let me test ride the different bikes and also helped me understand the differences in the types of gears and speeds. I ultimately got a used mountain bike there for about $180 but they had bikes in the low $100 range or less. There was also a kid's bike for $25. There is always a chance you find a cheaper bike on OfferUp but this shop has a great mission and has people that truly care about biking. Highly recommend checking it out!”

“I loved it. I was taken aback because of the location but let me tell you that after I walk in, I was transported to another dimension. There is valet parking, certainly a plus. Inside you are provided with every you need. The event took place worry free. I would def. recommend it. It made me appreciate what Los Angeles has to offer.”

“I just spent the week at the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Center. GAME-CHANGER! I have learned so much about authentic yoga with a group of the most lovely and caring people. The level of kindness, acceptance, and love that was extended to me during my stay was absolutely extraordinary. I took a course called Positive Thinking, and my instructor was Parvati. Thank you wonderful Parvati! This course was so helpful to me and was taught tools on how to create more peace in my life, and was done from an authentic yoga perspective. I stayed for almost a week and was dealing with pain in the right side of my body including my neck, shoulders, hip, and foot. In just less than a week, almost all of my pain has cleared after participating in the 2 daily yoga classes that were offered to me. Needless to say, I am a happy camper because I feel so good! The Swami is such a phenomenal yoga teacher! Thank you, Swami, and Sivananda Yoga Center for helping me so much! I am a healthier person as a result of your yoga teachings!”

“The activities were fun, we got to learn about using power tools, and the staff were great! Especially Hanabee, Jim, and Alex. Started off with a name activity and moved into using a hand saw and drill. Made a thing called not-a-box where you start off with a box and transform it into your own thing. Totally recommend!”

“Ring bell for Carlos if gift shop is shuttered but hours say open. Super delicious toffee. Pumpkin bread is their signature bakery hood and once seasonal only cranberry proved so popular it’s available year round. Be warned Carlos is an excellent salesman and you might leave feeling swindled but don’t worry everything you buy supports the nuns and boy does that peanut brittle sneak up on you proving Carlos correct. Eaten without it’s counterparts it is addictive bc it’s not sickly sweet like other brittle. Easy to polish off an entire bag. Carlos will also give a history of the monastery and tell lots of entertaining stories of visitors describing the goods as crack to which Carlos will reply that he has never tried crack so can’t rightfully compare. There are also more salacious Thorn Bird and Milkman esque gossip for the less easily offended. And nuns are human ones like when they go to See’s to check out the competition. Oh and you can also quiet reflect in chapel and gardens.”

“Store front is locked and closed due to a broken gate that has been broken for weeks. Wish Google Maps would update but they only have this information on Instagram. Waste of 2 hours in traffic plus Uber fees, but I still hope to make it back by here on a future trip to LA to buy some stuff in person, I like their mission and appreciate them. Just don’t appreciate that google maps doesn’t have accurate information.”

From the first encounter, it was evident that this coalition is more than just a support system; it's a family.The dedication of TransLatin@ Coalition to advocating for the rights and well-being of transgender and gender non-conforming individuals is awe-inspiring.

My experience with TransLatin@ Coalition has been empowering, instilling a sense of pride and resilience. I wholeheartedly recommend this organization to anyone seeking compassionate and knowledgeable support within the transgender and gender non-conforming community.
