oakland love letters
Nehanda Imara
dear East oakland,
You hold a special place in my life. Although you did not raise me, you helped me grow
as a mother, lift up our fights as an organizer, and become a community leader.
Brookfield Village, S obrante Park, and Elmhurst neighborhoods, you all grounded me in
door knocking and you became the place where I live, work, play, and pray.
Because of CBE
CBE,, EOBHC
EOBHC,, and the BCZ
BCZ,, East O akland will always have a special place in
my heart.
