About Our Guest:
Erin Aubry Kaplan is a Los Angeles native who writes about herself, her community, and the city, often all three simultaneously. A longtime journalist and essayist, she won the PEN Center West award for journalism in 2001 for "Blue Like Me," a personal exploration of the link between depression and racial struggle that she wrote for the LA Weekly. In 2005 she became the first black opinion columnist in the history of the Los Angeles Times, and remains a contributing op-ed writer.
