Welcome to the Culture FYI’RS Podcast. Culture FYI’RS is a creative collaboration meetup held weekly at the FYI Campus in Los Angeles. Each week, we feature a fireside chat with a guest, showcase projects being worked on by members of the FYI community, and share product updates for FYI.AI, the creative collaboration app co-founded by ⁠will.i.am⁠. This week, we are thrilled to welcome the dynamic Desiree Contreras, the creative mind behind Chopped Up Cherries, an innovative embroidery and design brand. In a heartfelt conversation with FYI Chief Growth Officer Julie Pilat, Desiree shares her inspiring journey from being a child in foster care to becoming a successful entrepreneur in the vibrant world of fashion and design. Desiree opens up about her unique experiences growing up in Los Angeles and how her adoption shaped her identity and creative path. With a serendipitous twist of fate, she stumbled into graphic design when she randomly called a college from a commercial, leading her to discover her passion for creativity. From working at West Coast Choppers to launching her own clothing line, Desiree recounts the ups and downs of her career, including the challenges she faced during the pandemic. Join us as we delve into Desiree's creative process, her vision for the future of her brand, and her commitment to uplifting others through her work.

will.i.am + Taboo - East LA (Official Music Video) We are Los Angeles. We are Angelenos. We are Americans. Some of us born here, some of us migrated here. We are a great country and our borders should be protected. You would think that the idea of border control would make residents feel safe - but it's pumped fear into our communities. They're going after people that make our city beautiful. People who put food in our supermarkets, take care of other people's kids, work two to three jobs so they can take care of their families. It breaks my heart. I wanted to make this video to change the vibe and celebrate the folks that make our cities great. The very same people who are being disregarded, dehumanized, and demoralized. Thank you for your contributions. Thank you for your work. We will get through this.
