Here is our video about Our Oakland! It will give you some background information, including Project Director Rene Yung's vision for Our Oakland, and show scenes from our second Community Storytelling Day. The event took place at the joint campus of Community Partners ACORN Woodland Elementary and EnCompass Academy, with healthy-eating community activities led by NETA (Nutrition Education Training Academy), and storytelling production by our media partners 1st Voice, Youth UpRising, and BAYCAT.

Basically I liked this picture because this image represents the garden of the East Oakland Boxing Association and SmartMoves. This is important because this is a great project that everyone worked on.

Well, it makes me feel like not all of East Oakland is bad. It can help you get off the streets and keep you safe. I also think this image shows hard work, which can get you where you want to be in life.

I would like to share a picture about the boxing that's going on in the gym. What's important about the gym to me is that it's a place where you can work out and for free too.

The photo that I captured took place in the Eastmont parking lot. My image is about an 'Old building living in the new.' It relates to my community in East Oakland because it has been there over 50 years. It's a cemetery building so almost everybody in the community goes there.

This is a cool little photo of a girl's shadow. It looks interesting because you don't know who it is. But all you do know is that it's outside and it's sunny and it is a shadow. Also, it is a girl but you don't know who it is.
