Ramen Revival

Settle in for Sacramento's Fall Arts Season
As the leaves finally change, here are seven ways from our Fall Arts issue to celebrate, with heart-tugging drama, pulse-pounding song, or a seasonal dose of comedy.
Q&A with Estella Sanchez, Founder of Sol Collective
Born in Sacramento to Mexican immigrants, Estella Sanchez has always navigated the influences of both her Hispanic heritage and her California upbringing. In 2005, at age 30, she founded the local multicultural nonprofit Sol Collective to help others explore and express their own diverse identities by hosting gallery shows, leading art classes and participating in social justice and health initiatives at its headquarters and beyond. This fall, the group will host events throughout town to observe Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), and Sanchez talks to us about those celebrations, growing a karmic bank account, and the power of perseverance.
