Influencing Evolution & Development with SoLa Impact
Between progression leading to gentrification and sometimes displacement, to the rights of tenants being completely stripped away due to eminent domain. With so many new advancements on almost every corner it can sometimes feel like there's no room for us to feel empowered to take the lead and control the trajectory of our neighborhoods. SoLa Impact is shifting the approach to social and economic progress by addressing the housing crisis in South Los Angeles and creating opportunities to take up space unapologetically.
SoLa Impact, founded by Martin Muoto in 2012, is a community development organization that focuses on revitalizing and transforming underserved neighborhoods in South Los Angeles. Muoto began investing in black and brown communities like South LA, Compton, Watts and other underserved communities long before they had become acknowledged as opportunity zones like today. Upon the official opportunity zone legislation he knew the company could accelerate SoLa Impact’s model of investing in affordable housing and entrepreneurship in deprived but well deserved communities.

Issa Rae and E. & J. Gallo Announce Prosecco Brand
Emmy- and Golden Globe-nominated actor, producer, and writer Issa Rae has recently made waves in the wine industry with the launch of her own Prosecco brand, Viarae. In partnership with E. & J. Gallo Winery, Rae brings her passion for Prosecco to life with a carefully crafted and deliciously crisp sparkling wine that celebrates good times and great friends.
The Inspiration Behind Viarae Prosecco
Rae's love for Prosecco is well-known, both on and off-screen. The Italian sparkling wine has been her personal drink of choice and even served as the signature beverage of her character on HBO's "Insecure," the critically acclaimed series she co-created, starred in, and produced. It was only natural for Rae to venture into the wine space and create her own Prosecco brand.
With Viarae Prosecco, Rae aims to highlight representation for the vibrant community of Black women in the wine industry. This commitment is reflected in the wine's packaging, featuring a combination of gold and brown colors. Inspired by the spirit of Italy in 1978, the label represents the freedom to let loose and be authentic. READ THE FULL STORY
