In this episode of LA SERRANITA, we sit down with Daniel Buezo, co-founder of Kids of Immigrants (KOI), to talk about the people, places, friendships, and creative energy that shaped a vision that has grown into a global movement. Daniel takes us back to the early days of KOI in Los Angeles—we talk about the role LA and brotherhood played in bringing the vision to life, the importance of always supporting your friends, and the moments that helped KOI evolve along the way.

From Selena for Sanctuary to collaborations with some of the world’s biggest brands, Daniel reflects on what it means to build something rooted in the experiences of first-generation Americans. Now, as Kids of Immigrants celebrates 10 years and opens the doors to its flagship space in Los Angeles, Daniel shares what this new chapter means, what he hopes the space can become for the community, and what’s next for KOI.

Director and photographer Brittany Bravo has spent her career telling stories rooted in love, family, and culture. In this conversation, the Bravo Studios founder shares her path into photography and explains how she pulls from her Mexican and Costa Rican roots for artistic inspiration. From campaigns with Rare Beauty, Apple, and Nike to her deeply personal project Immigration Is Sacred, Brittany continues to use her lens to advocate for several communities. We also get a first look at what's next: her debut narrative short film, Parí, releasing late 2026.
