This series, part of the White Center Innovation Project, highlights nine BIPOC refugee and immigrant business innovators working to preserve the vibrancy of White Center while resisting displacement.
Keo Sanh, Owner of the Eazy Duz It Car Club, shared: "I wanted to set an example for the younger generation. Whether it’s giving back to the community, doing charity events, or teaching, it’s a responsibility. Kids are watching you. You don’t know how many lives you change."
Yesica Lopez Reyes, Owner of La Tipica Oaxaqueña, reflected: "Helping my mom start this store and continue its legacy is my way of thanking her for all the sacrifices she’s made for me."
As White Center faces ongoing gentrification pressures, the docuseries sparks critical conversations on preserving cherished spaces, exploring equitable land ownership models, and investing in the community’s cultural, economic, and political well-being.
Join the WCCDA for video screenings, community discussions, and the release of the first episode, beginning in March 2025 and continuing in the following quarters. Visit the website to watch the trailer, share your thoughts, and learn more about building an inclusive future together.
The series was directed and produced by Moses Olson. Olson has worked on projects for The American Cancer Society, Microsoft, AT&T, Sony Interactive, Nintendo, Valve's Steam, NBC, Amazon, SIFF, and a diverse array of award-winning shorts, music videos, and feature-length films.
