Most notably, Exposition Park is now located in CD 8.

Natalie White, Interim President & COO, Los Angeles Sparks said, “Charisse is someone who leads by example, a true pioneer for the community of Los Angeles and we are so proud to honor her as our #WeAREWOMEN, 2021 Woman of the Year. She inspires us all to continue to be helpful, be hopeful and to be a servant to all youth and families.”
