Los Angeles MagazineMy L.A. to Z: Holly Robinson Peete
Interviewed by Kari Mozena
Former host of The Talk Holly Robinson Peete got out the paintbrush to help volunteers revitalize the Watts Labor Community Action Committee Community Center (they received a grant of $50,000 from The Maxwell House Community Project). She was honored for her dedication to the autism community at The Miracle Project’s “Autism is Awesomism” concert at The Grove. The rest of the time, you’ll find Peete and her husband, former NFLer Rodney Peete catching flying shrimp in their mouths at Benihana with their four children.
Los Angeles Zoo & Botanical Gardens
We’re big fans and I am on the board. I got on the board because I was so blown away. I started bringing children affected by autism to the zoo. It’s amazing how they react to the animals. We get there early before it opens, so there's no sensory overload. People don’t realize how amazing that zoo is.
Museum of Tolerance
I hosted an event there. It is one of those places you drive past all the time. When I went inside, I was blown way. It’s so great.
Arclight Cinemas
This is for the nighttime. We have a mommy/daddy cocktail (there’s a bar in there, a whole adult afterhours) and my mother babysits the kids. We get to see an R-rated movie! We are starved for R-rated movies.
