Created by: DonnoVan Vo and Darius Kennedy (Double D Comics) This graphic novel tells the story of the Los Angeles neighborhood of Leimert Park. The novel takes you through the transformation of Leimert Park from being a “green utopian planned” village into a “free-spirited for the people” village. The changes in the village are reflective of the influx and exodus of different people, making the village ever-evolving to the needs of its current occupants. The novel not only highlights the changing of space but also shows the reader how the current occupants of the village have curated the spaces to fit their cultural identity and the needs of their community. Also, the novel looks into the village's problems and the solutions that its community leaders have come up with to ensure that their space is protected.
