oakland love letters
Elena Serrano
dear Black East Oakland,
I see the day when we have our neighborhoods back. W here the old folks and the
youngsters see each other every day - checking each other out, learning from each
other, and looking out for each other.
S ome music, dominos, BBQ (vegan - yes that is a thing and it’s good and cheap!),
working together in the community garden, listening to jazz, and sipping homemade wine.
We love each other. We build together. We are strong and powerful and in control of
our own destinies.
We are making this happen. Right now! And that’s why I love B lack East O akland.
