The idea is to completely rebrand into a digital space. “What I wanted to do here,” Azul says, “is to establish itself in a new way because Grand Performances is not necessarily a place. Grand Performances needs to exist in the mind. And that’s something that really fits into the future with online performances and with expanding our reach globally.”

“Space can be taken away in a moment,” he continues. “We’re evolving with content that makes Grand Performances a perspective - not just a place.”

In addition to reconstructing Grand Performances to be a virtual space, Azul plans to reconnect new and older audiences together through a series of productions. His time as Grand Park Programs

As Los Angeles adapts to Covid-19, we are also witnessing one of the most powerful social uprisings in the last century. As an afro latino creator himself, lifting up underrepresented voices is incredibly improducing beats and the soul/jazz choir

portant to Azul. Fortunately Grand Performances shares his passion for promoting underrepresented voices and that belief is already a key part of the organization’s identity.

“Look back thirty years,” he says. “It’s in our archives. It’s not just something we’re along with other performances for your

saying. It’s something we’ve been doing.”

Amplifying these voices has been a big inspiration for the birth of Azul’s latest project: The Heritage Square Series. Unmances before, this series is a collection of artists who will showcase their music inside historic Victorian houses in Heritage Square. The concept is about hosting these artists in spaces where they typically would have never been allowed in at the time these houses were built.

The series premiered in September with artists Grace Oh performing her vibrational healing sound bath, Low Leaf who is known for combining an array of genres by playing the harp, keys, singing, and The Voices of Creation.

Between launching her own firm and taking reigns of The Ross Group, Andrea’s busier than ever. That’s why it’s so necessary to regulate stress. “Selfcare is so important,” she says. Handling that stress with self-care and spirituality has been paramount to her success. But Andrea also stresses the importance of having a mentor. “My mentor is always my go-to. She has become a best friend, and a lot of my strength has come from her. Finding a mentor you can be honest with across the board is important.” Alex Valente, Senior VP of High Street Residential also knows that part of what sets Mission Junction apart and draws people in is the new creative class that has assembled in area: “Over the last several years, this unique corner of Chinatown has drawn in some of LA’s best creators – from urban artists and craft producers to chefs, winemakers, and brewers. Llewellyn offers a functional, amenity-rich home base for these individuals, while also inviting other bright minds to continue energizing the community.” The benefits you get from the location of Llewellyn are unmatched in all of LA. Mission Junction is just removed downtown Los Angeles, but still a short walk, train, or car-ride away from almost anywhere in the LA Metro area. It’s simply the best of both worlds. Llewellyn is located two blocks from the Chinatown Metro Gold Line Station and also houses on-site covered parking for residents and guests. It is conveniently located to major freeways with the communities of Silver Lake and Pasadena each only 15 minutes away by car.

As for the next steps with Sakura, that future is incredibly bright. “I have big plans,” Andrea says. “I want Sakura to be the go-to firm across the board. We’ve mastered that in Downtown and I want to expand Sakura to a firm people work with across the nation and abroad. We have a few clients in Spain and New Zealand, and I want to hone in on that keep our boutique approach as we grow our company”.

Keep an eye out for Andrea and Sakura world by storm. @sakuramarketing

Marketing as they take the rest of the Mission Junction also maintains a long tradition of cultural diversity as the neighborhood transcended in the 1880s, with immigrants from Europe, Mexico, and China settling in the area after LA’s first transcontinental railroad station was built. Llewellyn derives its name from Llewellyn Iron Works, a historic metalworking facility that built the city’s first ornamental lamp posts (called “Llewellyns”) and provided the structural steel that built landmark Los Angeles buildings including the ironwork inside the iconic Bradbury Building.

Need we say more about this incredible new offering from High Street Residential? Truly having something for everyone, boasting unparalleled amenities, and a neighborhood history and community that is second to none, do not hesitate to experience living at Llewellyn.
