BOF Hosts T-Rell & Heather Meet with Mayor Karen Bass to Talk Community Impact

T-Rell and Heather, co-hosts of the popular BACKONFIGG podcast, recently met with Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass in a private gathering aimed at highlighting community voices.

The meeting was part of a larger push by Mayor Bass to stay connected with local culture leaders as the city navigates challenges related to homelessness, crime, and disaster recovery.

According to city updates, homelessness has seen its first back-to-back annual drop in years, and violent crime rates are at five-year lows.

T-Rell and Heather’s platform has become a cultural hub for L.A. conversations, making their inclusion in these discussions timely and relevant.

Their presence signals the growing importance of independent creators and community-based media in shaping narratives across Los Angeles.

Mayor Bass’ engagement with the BACKONFIGG team shows her administration’s recognition of platforms that speak directly to the streets.
