Founded by Ambassador (and former Congresswoman) Diane E. Watson on November 7, 1984, the Five Points Youth Foundation focuses on: Entrepreneurship; Economic Development; Education; Engagement and Empowerment We are a voluntary committee of the "Heal the World" generation ‎that leverages the enduring spirit of 1992 to "take a little space and make a better place" - starting with our pop up studio soundstage called This Place LA at 1820 Florence Boulevard, South Los Angeles, where we relocated in 2012, 20 years after the 1992 L.A. Riots Beginning in 2017, Delphine “SilkyD” Williams, Sir Bailey and TheLivingWellTour began producing monthly, annual and periodic community events featuring internationally known talent. During those events, we also host open mic sessions for local talent in this safe, family-friendly and fun space in order to bring together people from all walks of life, socio-economic levels and ranges of interest. We are using the pre-existing momentum of "Thanksgiving" to help our beloved city "turn the other cheek" in this time of crisis. We can refocus our necessary patriotism in favor of the organic naturalism of "ThanksLoving" - the universal sense of gratitude and connectedness that is always in our midst. We operate This Place LA as a community venue to produce the daily victories that are needed to establish trust. We also create new lifestyle narratives for our constituents who are learning to overcome persistent struggles with homelessness, hunger, ignorance and hopelessness through the creative arts. We have a growing slate of preliminary events already scheduled to qualify our initial grassroots capacity. Through voluntary efforts and donations we can now maximize our promotion, recording, broadcasting and syndication capacity to help "Heal Los Angeles to Heal the World" - especially with a little help from our friends!
