A native of Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico and now living in LA, Betto Arcos is an independent journalist and storyteller. He is a frequent contributor to NPR and the BBC, and author of Music Stories from the Cosmic Barrio.

Join us on Friday December 3rd at 12pm to hear three stories on the intersection of housing and music, covering themes including identity, education, adversity, immigration, women’s empowerment, and community building.

This event will be recorded as part of the series "Securing Justice," a housing insecurity podcast by the California Center for Ethics & Policy in the College of Letters, Arts, and Social Sciences at Cal Poly Pomona. Sign up for our mailing list.

This project was made possible with support from California Humanities, a non-profit partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Visit calhum.org.
