Gentrification is happening in the Crenshaw (Los Angeles, USA) area. How can the rising generations contribute to the change vs. solely being affected by it?
Recently honored as one of “Los Angeles’ Most Influential African American Movers and Shakers” by Reverend Al Sharpton’s National Action Network - LA, Starlett Quarles is a passionate, long time Community Advocate for the progress of Black Los Angeles and urban communities across the Country. A Third-Generation Angeleno and Community Builder, Starlett’s family has been instrumental in the Redevelopment of South Los Angeles’ urban landscape through the legacy of her grandfather’s Framing and Construction Company; as well as her father’s Real Estate Development Firm. As a result, Community Building is in her DNA. Starlett’s professional experience ranges from being Program Director for a non-profit Community Development Corporation, to Marketing Director of her father’s Real Estate Development Firm, The Bedford Group. In addition, she is also President of urban X marketing, a niche marketing firm that specializes in Urban Marketing, Branding & Community Public Relations.
