La Tierra Mia (1st edition)
La Tierra Mia: A Chicano Park Story catalogs a collection of memories through photos and notes from contributors who have shared a connection to the park over the past 50 years. Hopefully, through these shared artifacts, we can start to formulate a story of not only the past, but the maintenance of history for the future.

Egyptian Lover: On The Nile
Greg Broussard, aka Egyptian Lover, is a vocalist, producer, and DJ from Los Angeles who is responsible for creating one of the first West Coast hip-hop LPs, On The Nile. This book examines the era that Egypt emerged from, ultimately leading to his groundbreaking release 40+ years ago - inclusive of archive photos, handwritten lyrics, and notes from individuals in Egypt’s orbit. What surfaces is a uniquely Los Angeles rooted story, with a sonic lineage stemming from the heights of funk into the nascent ascent of hip-hop.
The hope is that the book not only provides insight into one singular artist’s creative gifts, but also the foundation he and his peers paved for the next wave of Los Angeles artists, which can still be felt on dancefloors today.
