Today we meet up with Watts local Bwuan who brings us into his world at Imperial Courts Projects. He teaches about the inter-workings of the hood and why he returns often now that he lives in East Hollywood.

    He is one of the most gracious hosts I have ever witnessed. No matter where he is, he is never judgemental, just reporting. May God bless this man and his family.
  • @Celeste-in-Oz
    Watching these videos feels kinda like… just hanging out with people. A great way to break down barriers and misunderstandings.
  • @AcidOllie
    He's 100% right about financial literacy. It really should be taught in schools these days.
  • Respect to Bwuan. Investing in himself for positive returns. Salute
  • @Asjunior
    I come from a lower middle class Brazilian neighborhood. Growing up and watching all those sorts of entertainment, drifting cars and loud music, I remember how many elderly and sick people would just suffer and not be able to counter that behavior. It looks fun, it is fun, but not for most of the people, many of whom are afraid to stand up for themselves. There are walls that are hidden beneath the surface in those areas, those are never shown. Great job Peter, keep on 😊
  • @danny208YT
    Solid dude who showed you around. Hope he finds his way out and becomes prosperous
  • At @26:00 you can almost feel the pain in Bwuan's voice and then there's that moment of silence that almost solidifies it. After Peter says "i"m sorry" and Bwuan replies with the typical "Nah I'm good". That made me emotional because of how many times I've told people I'm good when I'm not even close. Theres too many of us out here still healing from trauma to be doing it alone, go talk to someone. And I know we gotta be tough to survive but if you're going through something right now or healing from something, just know it's Ok, to not be Ok.
  • Love dude energy he humble melo and funny as hell wish nothing but blessing for him and his family 👪 🙏💙💯
  • @dyoung3536
    What strikes me is that as much stigma a place like Watts has in the media, there's a hell of a lot more community here than any of the suburban areas I've seen where you can live for 5-10 years and no know your neighbor. There's a lot to admire about this neighborhood and the people who live here.
  • I have to say this bro was smart, articulate, and completely honest. Great video to all involved. I read ,”Rich Dad, Poor Dad” and it literally changed my life. I buying one of his hoodies.
  • Always liked this guy he’s pure hearted I want to see him win glad he’s flourishing and in good spirits keep grinding my guy! 💪🏽
  • Thanks Peter for introducing us to Bwuan and giving us a little insight of where he’s from, just another education series of what goes on in America and what we may never understand if it wasn’t for someone like yourself Peter that risk your life and giving your time to bring us a small taste of what’s happening. So thank you and may God bless you and watch over you, I love ❤Bro take care.
  • @9999bigb
    It's crazy how much Bwan's demeanor changes when they go near the Watts Towers. He goes from being so relaxed to his guard way way up. BTW, the Watts Towers were built by hand by one man, an Italian immigrant. Took him years and years to build them.
  • @69edgard
    This man seems like a good dude. It’s interesting how much more at ease he was in HW than he was in the area outside his projects. Glad he’s out the hood.
  • Much respect to the homie. Super cool hes out in Hollywood grinding towards his dreams.
  • @johndong7524
    Trash scattered everywhere on the ground is the first indicator of the quality of people who live there and their contribution to the community. We have these types of neighborhoods where I live as well and garbage is the first thing you notice when you enter them.
  • @ebktoonz8436
    I moved out the hood but my folks and people still live there and it's to say I was hella out my comfort zone in the suburbs everyone keeps them selves to them selves no sence of community and I still go back to the hood to kick it see my people. Just because i was raised there your not a product of it. Love these vlogs Peter
  • Its always a pleasure to watch when Peter tries to act "hip" in the hoods.
