Born x Raised Honors Spanto
Taking place at the iconic Hollywood Palladium, the collaborative efforts of Dr. Martens and Levi’s brought the night to life; 1800 Tequila kept the drinks flowing. Esteemed guests such as YG, Miguel, Danny Trejo, and others, who shared a deep connection with Spanto, turned out to express their support. Anna Printup, Spanto’s partner, delivered a heartfelt speech, followed by a tribute performance from Mariachi artist Julian Torres and a closing music set by rapper YG.
From humble beginnings of selling t-shirts out of car trunks, Born x Raised has evolved into a steadfast advocate for issues surrounding gentrification that adversely affect long-standing members of the community; Spanto's indomitable spirit undeniably lives on through 2Tone and the family they've built around them. The evening unfolded with love, laughter, heartfelt conversations, reconnecting, and dancing — a touching moment that will hopefully resonate in the memories of those who came out for a long time.
