How a Journalist Earns Community Trust

As an outsider writing about Watts, journalist Michael Krikorian had to earn the trust of the community. After more than 20 years of helping tell their stories, he's now known by the residents of Watts simply as "Mike". He visits Cynthia "Big Mama" Mendenhall, founder of Chosen Angels, an organization supporting foster care youth, trans residents, and unhoused people in Watts.
