I received this by e-mail.

I’m a USC grad student working on a web series about DIY lifestyles. Everything from street vendors to green technophiles.

Right now I’m trying to find black inventors (garage tinkerers, HAM radio operators, etc) in the Southern California area. I haven’t had much luck through the tech community, it’s a pretty white world, but I was hoping someone with Blackinformant might help me make a contact.

If you know of anyone, or know someone who might know someone, I would greatly appreciate any reference you have. I have two rough episodes of this series that I can show as an example, plus my resume and online reel for reference. Please let me know if you have any lead whatsoever, and thank you very much for your time.

Sincerely,
Sebastian Hernandez
