WELCOME

By following my passion for storytelling and history, I found my purpose, and now I help others find their voice and speak with confidence.

HISTORIC PLACES WITH ELSA SEVILLA 

Snapshot:
I’m the creator, host, and executive producer of Historic Places with Elsa Sevilla on KPBS/PBS — a series devoted to preserving overlooked history and cultural legacy. I work alongside my partner, Guillermo Sevilla (co-creator, producer, director of photography, editor), and our son Julian, a photographer's assistant.

What I Do:
Through Historic Places, I bring San Diego’s past to life by centering the stories of women and BIPOC communities often erased from the record. I step in as a history detective — uncovering powerful truths so audiences can see themselves in history and recognize their own potential.

Historic Places represents the very best of public media: educational, thoughtful, and deeply rooted in our region’s history. It is a beloved local program by viewers of all ages. KPBS is grateful for Elsa’s talent and being our partner in sharing these often untold, important stories.” 

- Deanna Mackey, general manager, KPBS
