make friends

Emma tried looking for groups that might help her make friends.

She said that, as a result, it was really hard to make friends and figure out the culture.

Long Beach native Evelyn Avila was looking for a safe way to meet and make friends with other women when she started the Long Beach Walking Club in April 2023.

When Monica Figueroa was sent to work in New York City for a few months, she struggled to make friends in the bustling city.

So in March 2022, the two decided to start a walking group closer to home, dedicated to helping others in L.A.’s LGBTQ+ community meet new people and make friends while exploring the Greater L.A. area.
