On this episode of the KYRC Podcast, host Dr. Sean Tory(@theedrseantory) sits with Claudia Ramos (@claudiaramosdesigns)  and Brandan Bmike Odums(@bmike2c) to explore how art becomes a living response to injustice in Los Angeles. Ramos shares her journey from El Salvador, how discrimination shaped her voice, and why her bright, playful visuals confront issues like immigration pressure and racial harm. Odums reflects on the responsibility artists carry to tell real community stories and spark dialogue. Together, they examine art as connection, resistance, and truth-telling, urging creatives to use their platforms intentionally to challenge harmful systems and inspire collective awareness through authentic expression.
