Marilynn Montaño

Después de una juventud como “chava de biblioteca,” Marilynn llegó a hacer reportajes con varios periódicos locales; ahora trabaja con Libromobile, actualmente la única librería independiente en Santa Ana. Nos habla de las tensiones que surgen entre pertenecer a una comunidad, y reportar sobre ella, y explora sus esperanzas para el “downtown” de Santa Ana -- área disputada a causa de la gentrificación -- y los proyectos culturales que luchan para mantener una presencia comunitaria en esa zona.

This self-described “library kid” went on to practice journalism with local newspapers, and now works with Libromobile, currently Santa Ana’s only independent bookstore. Marilynn talks to us about the tensions that arise between reporting on a community and belonging to it, and about her hopes for Downtown Santa Ana, a contested area due to gentrification, and the cultural projects that are trying to maintain a presence there.

It’s most likely that those who have the resources and the time to listen to our podcast and read these words, have homes that are at least somewhat secure. Nevertheless, we offer a short list of shelters and help programs for those who don’t have a roof over their heads around Santa Ana.
