Good video! I agree with the sketchy spots in LA (ie: Holly weird, Skid Row). The pandemic has definitely made the homeless problem worse in LA and also other major cities. Keep grindin friend!
Thank you for this video Ashli! Witnessing your growth is so inspirational! I’m moving to LA this fall, and your videos on how to navigate the industry and LA in general are really helpful. 💜💜 Btw, what’s the name of the church you found? xxx
Fantastic video!! I just hit my 3 years in LA mark in December and I totally agree with all your points. I live in the valley too, and last week I said "the vibe" non ironically for the first time. I'm finally an official Valley Girl! 😂
The Valley used to be entirely different than L.A., both demographically and culturally. And there are two Valleys, not one. Pre-WWII, the Valley was farmland and orchards. The San Fernando Valley, to the west, later became white suburbia, full of newly prosperous transplants from middle and southern America. The San Gabriel Valley, to the east, was primarily populated by Latinos, most of whom were farm workers and their descendants. The Valley is still not L.A., but, sadly, over the years they have become more and more alike. Like New York, due to gentrification, L.A. culture is disappearing. L.A. is not the friendliest town. Most of your friends will probably be other transplants. You have to hustle because the competition is fierce and most people here are full of sh*t so if you aren’t street smart you better get street smart real fast.
i’ve bever been to LA :( i was supposed to go for my grad trip in 2020 but you know lol it looks beautiful and im glad your happy there!!! and we need the roommate story!!! lol
Thank you for this video and all the advice ! I was wondering if you had any advice on self submitting for agency, how to have your submission being considered and if it's something you had to do ? Thank you :)
Wow, Ashli, you have come so far since I met you at Valeka's acting workshop in DC! I wish you great luck in all your future auditions and other career-related activities.
There’s homeless people over there because it’s expensive and not affordable it’s an expensive city to live in and it’s not easy to buy a house or get a house it’s not easy
Yeah I have never lived around so many homeless in my life omg. I don’t even live were there is a lot of homeless. Im suprised they put their tents next to trains its so dangerous. I feel really bad for them but its already difficult enough getting by omg. Also the wealth inequality here is so obvious. Some of them are on drugs I guess to cope. Its a huge government problem. Its been like this for over 20 years and getting worse. I was born here, moved to the south for a couple of years, and came back. I think its a huge shock how much had changed. I also think people become desensitized to the problems here after a while. Yeah I have a hate/love relationship with the city too. I do love the nature in California in general..that people here are more open minded than in the south. Like here I can wear pink hair and over there forget about it 😂 But there is also a lot of competition here..can be about talent, beauty, finances etc. And yeah it gets to me after a while I think everyone. Its definitely depressing if you let it get to you. The first year back I actually hated it but the second year is ok.
Ask me questions! I’m doing a Q&A video for next week 😊
safe areas to live in? apartments that are good and clean?
How are you dealing w/ the weather extremes? How did you find and choose an apartment?
I can't wait to hear about the Church that you found? Very important self care routine. 🍿🎬
Yesss next video!💗 thanks for watching!
