E40: Aiden Garcia-Sheffield - The Man Behind Pride On the Port
End of Season 1! Don't worry, I'll get right into Season 2 next week :)
A much anticipated episode, in todays show I have none other than Aiden Garcia-Sheffield, a local community activist originally from Savannah Georgia. He is the Founder and President of Bridge Cities Alliance, the organization responsible for Pride on the Port. He is also the owner of Underground Los Angeles, local barbershop on 6th St in downtown San Pedro. He started out in his early career as a realtor then after the market crash transitioned and became a flight attendant. As a young world traveler with an adventurous attitude toward life and the unexpected, he moved to LA and soon found himself in the South Bay where he discovered our beautiful San Pedro. He now lives here with his husband and is heavily involved in the community.
In today's show he shares his coming out story, how he ended up in San Pedro and why he thought it was important to bring PRIDE to San Pedro. I wanted to thank him publicly for all the work he's done to create love and acceptance for the LGBTQ+ community here.
