As a Persian-American, working with the L.A. Conservancy on this project was an honor. My role was to help curate and design a comprehensive guide that highlights the vibrant and significant Persian-owned businesses in Irangeles. This project involved researching the historical backgrounds of each business, share their stories, and gathering insights into the significance of each location. Through this project I helped contribute to the preservation of cultural heritage, as well as foster greater awareness and appreciation of the Persian community's role in shaping L.A's identity.
