As \u003cem>The California Report's\u003c/em> Central Valley Bureau Chief based in Fresno for nearly a dozen years, Sasha brought the lives and concerns of rural Californians to listeners around the state. Her reporting helped expose the hidden price immigrant women janitors and farmworkers may pay to keep their jobs: sexual assault at work. It inspired two new California laws to protect them from sexual harassment. She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R. Murrow and a national PRNDI award for investigative reporting, as well as multiple prizes from the Society for Professional Journalists. Sasha is a proud alum of the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism and Brown University and a member of the South Asian Journalists Association.",

They’ll charge. They’ll hurt you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, one of the maps in this book shows all the California locales wild pigs roam — 56 of the state’s 58 counties.

So you’ll find plants here that are usually found only on the Central Coast or way up by the Oregon border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As we set off on the hike, Kaufmann warns me of the “fearsome four” we might encounter: scorpions, mountain lions, rattlesnakes and tarantulas. But he’s not personally afraid of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I mean, I’ve taken so many naps unwittingly next to tarantulas,” he says. “They climb on me.

I thought nature was where my voice was.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kaufmann moved to L.A. from the town of Danville, in the shadow of Mount Diablo, when he was 5 years old. His father, \u003ca href=\"https://aas.org/obituaries/william-j-kaufmann-iii-1942-1994\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">William J. Kaufmann III\u003c/a>, was a world-renowned astronomer who headed the \u003ca href=\"http://griffithobservatory.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Griffith Observatory\u003c/a> and passed away suddenly in 1994, at the age of 51.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He gave me my biggest perspective,” says Obi Kaufmann. “So even though I’m 20 years from the death of my father, I’m grateful to be afforded his opportunity to continue that conversation with the greatest scale of things. You know, that for me is California. For him it was the universe.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kaufmann’s wearing a big straw hat and has a scraggly beard like \u003ca href=\"https://vault.sierraclub.org/john_muir_exhibit/life/muir_biography.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">John Muir.\u003c/a> But, he says, guys like Muir weren’t really his big influences when he fell in love with nature as a teen in the late 1980s. It was more like “Lord of the Rings” and Metallica. Obi was a geek, a loner, a city kid who prefers sleeping out under the stars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of people say, ‘Oh, you’re living the John Muir lifestyle, eating berries and sleeping in trees,’” laughs Kaufmann. “It’s like, yeah, I do that, but I also live in an apartment in downtown Oakland.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He likes his hipster coffee.

And they want to stop such misconduct in the future. And not just in Hollywood, but across a wide swath of industries, professions and institutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To that end CAA banded together with a core group of fellow female executives from two powerful Hollywood public relations firms, Sunshine Sachs and \u003ca href=\"http://42west.net/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">42 West\u003c/a>, to help launch Time’s Up in January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All three firms have also done businesses with Harvey Weinstein or his company at one time or another.

The sex abuse cases roiling Hollywood are bad for businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think CAA felt quite vulnerable because of that and they wanted to somewhat wrap themselves around the #MeToo\u003cem> \u003c/em>movement,\" Masters said. \"And I think the other (talent) agencies look at them kind of with a little bit of an eye roll and say; ‘really CAA?

It was clear to him that the two didn’t mix. Nobody else knew he was gay, but when he went to the skatepark, other skaters threw around the word ‘gay’ as an insult.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would get called like ‘faggot’ a lot, or like ‘that’s so gay’ and like ‘you’re gay’,” Cheung tells me. “It’s very homophobic. And not very welcoming. And I remember feeling very ashamed about myself and sexuality.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So when Cheung was 18, he decided to stop skating. It was just too hard to live in both worlds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11653059\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 600px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11653059\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS29716_skateboards-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"598\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS29716_skateboards-qut.jpg 600w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS29716_skateboards-qut-160x159.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS29716_skateboards-qut-240x239.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS29716_skateboards-qut-375x374.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS29716_skateboards-qut-520x518.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS29716_skateboards-qut-32x32.jpg 32w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS29716_skateboards-qut-50x50.jpg 50w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS29716_skateboards-qut-64x64.jpg 64w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS29716_skateboards-qut-96x96.jpg 96w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS29716_skateboards-qut-128x128.jpg 128w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS29716_skateboards-qut-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Unity founder Jeffrey Cheung is also an artist.
