Season 3 of the PBS SoCal Original Series "SoCal Wanderer" is here!

Once again, five new episodes feature women business owners who are dedicated to making a positive impact in neighborhoods around the Los Angeles region — from the San Gabriel Valley to South L.A. and the eastside.

This season, host Rosey Alvero is back exploring women-led (and, in some cases, BIPOC- and LGBTQ+-led) businesses that are serving their communities with places to connect, share, restore, and even experience some delicious flavors inspired by their local neighborhoods.

These diverse entrepreneurs are each trailblazers in their own ways — and you can learn their stories by watching each of their episodes here, or for free on the PBS App.
